The Lee-Harvard Block Party,

About the event

Lee-Harvard, a neighborhood located on the southeast side of Cleveland, Ohio, has a rich history and faces important challenges in the present day. Established in the late 1940s after World War II, Lee-Harvard was initially a majority-white, middle-class neighborhood where veterans benefited from the G.I. Bill, leading to an economic boom and generational wealth for white residents. However, significant demographic shifts over the years have made Lee-Harvard a predominantly black neighborhood. Despite challenges such as an aging population, decreased homeownership, and disinvestment, the Lee-Harvard neighborhood remains resilient. 

CHARP EDucation Consulting, Oh Sew Powerful, community members, and with the support of our partner, Harvard Community and Service Center, a nonprofit,  invite you to join us for our second Lee-Harvard Block Party. We will bring residents, businesses, and organizations together to celebrate its legacy and become a source of joy, unity, and inspiration for the future to come.
