Memory, Meaning, and Momentum

meet the voices of relay

Relay Cleveland is more than a history project. It is a living dialogue between generations. With the 50th anniversary of the Reed v. Rhodes decision in focus, these personal narratives invite us to examine not just where we have been but where we are going. By listening to the voices of those who experienced Cleveland’s desegregation era alongside today’s students and leaders, we confront the unfinished work of educational equity. This project calls on all of us to remember, reflect, and participate in shaping a more just future for Cleveland’s schools.
