As with all tragedy, there is opportunity. The destruction by fire of one of Cleveland’s most treasured African American institutions is yielding a lot of declarations of support. But in a city that has been careening downhill for decades, there is precious little money to bring the Lancer back to life.
Hmmm….now who in town has a lot of money? I wonder…….
If I were Lebron James or Shaquille O’Neal, I’d be considering an investment in not only the history of Cleveland’s African American community, but in their own legacy, via the rebirth of The Lancer. Who wouldn’t applaud that?
