Glenville Shootout: 50 Years Later

The Glenville Shootout, which played out from 23 through the 28 July, 1968, happened after decades of changes in Cleveland, changes that triggered racial tensions. On the 50th anniversary of the shootout in this east side Cleveland neighborhood, ideastream produced a series of stories looking back at the events of that week in 1968 and we heard from two former residents about their hopes for the neighborhood's future.
