Even following a change of Cleveland's administration from Ralph Locher to Carl Stokes, the revitalization of Hough proved to be slow and painful. The Hough Area Development Corporation (HADC), one of the nation’s first community development corporations, spearheaded a number of projects intended to revive the neighborhood as early as 1968. Despite development efforts initiated by community organizations and Stoke’s administration, the impact of racial discrimination and segregation on a time-ravaged Hough resulted in an exodus of its populace. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
