| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Albert Stern Papers
| | | | Creator: | Gift of Mickey Stern | | | | Dates: | 1965-2008 | | | | Abstract: | Albert "Al" Stern was born in 1927 in Toronto, Ohio, and grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia with his parents and two brothers. After serving in the Navy at the end of World War II, he attended Indiana University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. He moved to Cleveland in 1951 and for several years worked as a sales agent in the door and window industry. He then started his own manufacturers' representative sales firm. Over the next 30 years, Al built A. Stern & Co. into a very successful agency. Al was very active in various peace and justice organizations, ranging from civil rights to integrated housing, anti-nuclear activities, and the anti-war movements. Al and his wife Merle (nicknamed Mickey) also helped found the secular Jewish Sunday School in Cleveland, which evolved into the Jewish Secular Community. Al had a deep emotional attachment to Israel and its survival. For over thirty years, Al was a passionate proponent of peace in the Middle East. He educated many in the local community and arranged for prominent Israelis to speak on human rights and peace issues. He retired from his business in 1993 and served ACLU as their Legislative Coordinator and fundraiser until his death. He died on June 23, 2008. The Albert Stern Papers collection consists of articles, a biography, a book, a book review, clippings, correspondence, flyers, a memoir, newsletters, notes, photos, programs, rosters, speeches, and a tribute. | | | | Call #: | MS 5452 | | | | Extent: | 0.4 linear feet (2 boxes) | | | | Subjects: | Stern, Albert | Manufacturers’ agents -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Pacifists -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Indochina Peace Campaign (Organization : U.S.) | Americans for Peace Now (Organization) | American Civil Liberties Union | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, Cleveland Chapter Records
| | | | Creator: | American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, Cleveland Chapter | | | | Dates: | 1958-1978 | | | | Abstract: | The American Civil Liberties Union was founded in 1920 by Roger Baldwin and a group of associates formerly of the National Civil Liberties Bureau. The Cleveland, Ohio, chapter of the union was founded in 1922 and remained active throughout the 1920s and 1930s focusing on cases concerning unionization, Communism, and religious freedom. The chapter closed during World War II, but was revived in 1950 with the advent of McCarthyism. In 1954, the national ACLU recognized the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio as the official affiliate responsible for helping local Ohio chapters coordinate more easily on larger statewide cases and issues. The Cleveland chapter continued to struggle with budget woes and lack of membership following its revival. In the 1950s and 1960s the chapter focused its efforts on political rights; in the 1960s and 1970s the group became concerned with the rights of educators, students, prisoners, the mentally ill, and women. Among other initiatives, the Cleveland chapter completed an extensive court observation project of the Cuyahoga County justice system and helped to raise money for the legal defense funds of those indicted in the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970. The collection consists of advertisements, agendas, bills, case briefs and notes, contracts, correspondence, fundraising records, membership lists, minutes, newspaper clippings, notices, original research, press releases, programs, and proposed legislation. | | | | Call #: | MS 5047 | | | | Extent: | 14.07 linear feet (14 containers and 7 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio.
