The Flora Stone Mather Center for Women at CWRU has created Ladies First: A Jaunt Through the Civil Rights Movement, on view in the Tinkham Veale University Center from now until February 21st

Ladies First highlights a selection of Black women's historical contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. Each poster includes a QR code that links to a song accompanying the story of the featured leader - with the full playlist linked on the final poster.

You can interact with the display through an online form, also linked on the final poster in the exhibit, for an opportunity to receive a gift from a Woman of Color-owned business.

Speaker: Bob Rosenbaum, Co-Chair, Heights Observer

Panel: Sharon Broussard, Project Manager, NEO Solutions Journalism Collaborative, and Jim O’Bryan, Founder, Observer Media Project.

Factual, independent news media is the bulwark of democracy. Fake news, lies, and manipulation of facts influence a large majority of the population via social media, radio, and TV. Are local, non-profit media collaborations, funded by foundations, the answer to fact-based local media?

The Soul of Democracy

Desmond Meade

President & Executive Director, Florida Rights Restoration Coalition

In-Person Forum

Friday, February 4, 2022

Noon - 1:30 pm

The City Club of Cleveland

850 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland 44114

In 2018, as the executive director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition - and a returning citizen himself, Desmond Meade led the movement to restore voting rights to 1.4 million Floridians with past felony convictions. That painstaking campaign secured a victory at the ballot box, amending the Florida constitution, and producing one of the largest expansions of voting rights in history.

Join us for a candid presentation about the current battles over the most fundamental right in a democratic society: the right to vote.

The livestream will be available beginning at 12:30 pm. Have questions? Tweet them at @TheCityClub or send a text to 330.541.5794.

The City Club requires ticketholders to provide proof of Covid vaccination or a recent negative Covid test. Email info@cityclub.org with any questions.

The Pandemic and the Inflation Outlook

February 6, 2022, 9:30-10:45 am

Speaker: Robert Rich, Director, Center for Inflation Research, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Inflation has multiple impacts on our lives and communities, and it has surged over the past year. The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of inflation, rose 6.8% last November, the largest increase since 1982. The current elevated readings serve as a useful starting point for a review of what inflation is (and isn’t), how its ongoing strength is measured, and the current supply and demand factors impacting inflation and our future.
