usa today features cleveland's historical fairfax neighborhood

In a USA TODAY feature titled “Historic black neighborhoods climb from recession,” Melanie Eversley explores the influx of investments and resurgence of historically black neighborhoods including Cleveland’s Fairfax neighborhood.

“In Cleveland's Fairfax neighborhood, where poet Langston Hughes once lived and where a 98-year-old theater launched his plays, a bank is investing millions.”

Eversely goes on to explain that as the country recovers from the recession, communities are calling attention to what made them famous to begin with.

In Cleveland, she explores the renovations of the Karamu House, the new Langson Hughes center, and others.

"One of the reasons that PNC [Bank] chose Fairfax was because there's such a rich culture there."
