I was actually concern...Thank you for your comment. I was actually concerned that many people might have a similar reaction to yours. However, I was pleasantly surprised to hear directly and directly from several people who were in attendance, as well as least one who was intimately involved in the production, expressing appreciation for my report.<br /><br />I think my post makes clear my regard for the Circle. I think Nina performed a great service to the community through her production of the documentary. <br /><br />I in no way meant to imply that the promoters of this film or any one meant to be racially exclusive. I am a Baker Nord subscriber and a cleveland.com consumer. I believe I learned of the video via B-N, the Cleveland Leadership Center, and possibly other sources as well.<br /><br />I blame no one for the complexion of the audience. The fact that it was overwhelmingly white is a fact that I sensed visually and viscerally and it served as one catalyst for my piece. The post-screening dialogue contributed as well.<br /><br />My focus here wass on the history and systemics of our community, and not on any individual participant or attendee. <br /><br />Consideration of UC and its history leads me naturally to reflect on its future, which for many should lead to realization of the "Opportunity" Corridor project, about which I shall be writing presently.<br /><br />I would be delighted to know how you evaluate the pros and cons of the OC as it presently stands on the drawing board.<br /><br />I deeply appreciate your readership and comment.

The...I think your comments are unfair to the video. The audience was made up of people who subscribe to CWRU Nord/Baker, possibly the PD/Cleve.com and friends of Nina and Jesse <br /><br />It was done on a shoestring and reflects to some degree most people's feelings about University Circle which is a treasure...and it will be used because we currently have nothing of its kind<br /><br />The Human Opportunity Corridor is a beautiful concept, though...I mean no disrespect to that idea<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
