Home to doctors,' dentists,' and attorneys' offices on the second floor into the 1950s-60s, the University Circle Building, shown here in the late 1960s, would soon become the headquarters for Winston Willis's University Circle Properties Development Inc. After the 105th-Euclid Association, a white-dominated booster organization, failed to revitalize the city's "second downtown," suburbanites largely abandoned the area. Note the Joint Apprenticeship Program sign, which also calls attention to a job-training initiative spearheaded by the Workers Defense League (a socialist labor rights organization) and A. Philip Randolph Educational Fund, which was part of the civil rights leader's larger campaign to unite civil rights and labor activism following passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. | Date: 1968 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
