American History 2000 – 2012 was staged in Willard Park in a public designated free speech zone. There were lots of politicians, delegates and press along with a steady presence of surveillance.

The locals in Cleveland were discouraged from engaging in activities in the city. The ones we met were a power source. They told us that their city is going through a resurrection. Everyone I met who lives in Cleveland loves Cleveland. I understand why. Citizens have a lot of culture and community. Cleveland is an example of population working together within their neighborhoods. I am very grateful for the opportunity to of witnessed this.
