{"id":9,"ordinal":0,"featured":0,"title":"Conflict","creator":"CSU Center for Public History + Digital Humanities","description":"<p>The social history of urban development is defined by conflict.  Individuals and groups with competing interests commonly vied with each other to create a world that best reflected their beliefs and desires.  These competing interests, often a reflection of the inequalities between disparate groups, found expression through public discourse, various forms of protest, and occasional eruptions of violence.\r\n\r\nCleveland was no exception. Since the late 19th century, the city's densely populated landscape was socially stratified and racially segregated.  Within these tight quarters, inhabitants of the urban center were confronted with opposing worldviews and unfamiliar cultures.  One need only look at a newspaper from any moment in Cleveland's history to find examples of conflict arising between ethnic groups, political parties, or social classes.  These conflicts were often critical in creating public awareness of dissenting opinions, helping to change popular perceptions on social or political issues, and shedding light on inequalities. \r\n \r\nExamining conflict provides an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of Cleveland's past.  It allows us to trace the transformation of Cleveland society as its residents renegotiated the status quo, pointing to opposing viewpoints that might have otherwise disappeared from the historical record.\r\n</p>","postscript_text":"","tour_img":"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/maydayriots3new_ebab6ea15c.jpg","items":[{"id":28,"title":"May Day
