2Title:  WELCOME Photographs     
 Creator:  WELCOME 
 Dates:  1978-1982 
 Abstract:  WELCOME (Westsiders and Eastsiders Let's Come Together) was founded in 1978 in Cleveland, Ohio, by teachers, parents, and concerned citizens to create an atmosphere of peace and racial cooperation in response to the possibility of violence during the desegregation of the Cleveland Public Schools. WELCOME activities, which involved community centers and churches, included a series of bridgewalks across the Detroit Superior Bridge, the distribution of tee-shirts, the establishment of WELCOME committees at each school, and WELCOME wagons that visited neighborhoods. Once desegregation took place, WELCOME clubs were formed in the newly desegregated schools. The most active students in each club formed the citywide WELCOME Leadership Institute in 1980, funded by the Cleveland and Gund Foundations. In 1984, funding ended, and the Leadership Institute evolved into Youth United to Oppose Apartheid. WELCOME and the Leadership Institute ceased to exist. The collection consists of individual and group portraits, including Congressman Louis Stokes, WELCOME co-founder Michael Charney, C. J. Prentiss, Gail Long, Rev. Donald Jacobs, Bishop Hickey, Russell Shroeder, and Stanley Tolliver. Views include images of the Bridgewalks and other programs, including those of the WELCOME Leadership Institute.
