Shelley Stokes Hammond MAHP '12 grew up in a Cleveland neighborhood named Ludlow. In 1957 Ludlow would become known as the place where the garage at the new home of a professional African American couple was bombed in an effort to scare them out of town because of the color of their skin. Years later, it would become a historic site on the Civil Rights Trail in Cleveland. What came after this event is truly inspiring.
