In
his
newest
book,
"
LGBTQ
Cleveland
(Images
of
Modern
America),"
Dr.
Ken
Schneck,
an
associate
professor
at
BW
and
director
of
BW's
Leadership
in
Higher
Education
(LHE)
program,
explores
almost
50
years
of
history
of
the
LGBTQ
community
in
Cleveland.
In the introduction, Schneck says, "Ultimately, this book is an opportunity to pause and reflect on where the Cleveland LGBTQ community has been and most certainly where it can go. Cleveland is a city of hope, conflict, pride, and individuals who have interlocked arms time and time again to be seen and heard."
Schneck says the new Arcadia Publishing volume encompasses both the trials and successes of the LGBTQ Cleveland community as he tells the stories of the many heroes and events that have led to the development of the region's LGBTQ community, including more than 160 images.
On May 30, Schneck celebrated his second book's publication at a Jukebox book release party. A portion of the proceeds from each book sold was donated to the LGBT Cleveland Community Center.
