This is Cleveland (circa 1946)

By: N/A

Price: $18.00

Publisher: Cleveland, Ohio, The League For Human Rights: circa 1946

Seller ID: 2206

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good condition

This booklet is not seen too often. I got it from a private collection, but it's stamped on the front #13 Collinwood High School Library 1946. This one is not about Cleveland history only insofar as it discusses its residents and their origins. The thrust of the 66 page text is to showcase and provide information on the various ethnic groups, their religions, and the problem of prejudice. What's odd is it left out the Irish who came in droves and settled on the west side. All told though it's a topic not covered too often. Measures 6" x 8-3/4". Only fault is the stamp mentioned above.
