Did you know that Cleveland is one of the most racially segregated metropolitan areas in the country, and ranks 5th in the nation for income inequality between black and white residents?

Come experience a bit of what these realities have meant for some residents in the Buckeye-Woodhill neighborhood on Cleveland’s east side. This neighborhood has been shaped by over 50 years of racist redlining and housing discrimination, where to this day more than half of residents live below the poverty line.

Yet, the deep sense of community and the resilience of the Buckeye-Woodhill residents are a testament to their strength and their hope for a better future.

We want to celebrate the deep ties and the real stories that have been forged in this community.

Therefore, New City Cleveland and Renovare Music invite you to an immersive evening of instrumental music, poetry, narratives, and seven original Documentary Songs written collaboratively with members of the Buckeye-Woodhill neighborhood. This hour-long performance will be complimented by a photojournalism display featuring the residents with whom Renovare co-wrote original songs.

Come be inspired by the music and stories of these residents, and learn how you can contribute to flourishing for all our neighbors.

With special guest Jerrod Amir Shakir

Photojournalism display by Julie Davis
