About the event

At the Table with Aundra Willis Carrasco: Cleveland's Hidden Past

Entrepreneur Winston Willis faced resistance from political and business elites during his successful ventures in the 1960s and 1970s. He transformed the East 105th and Euclid area, but encountered significant racial and economic challenges. Ayesha Bell Hardaway and author Aundra Willis Carrasco will discuss Willis's legacy, business controversies, and power struggles within the Black community.
