1Title:  Hough Area Development Corporation Photographs     
 Creator:  Hough Area Development Corporation 
 Dates:  1850-1980 
 Abstract:  The Hough Area Development Corporation (f. 1967) was formed in the wake of the Hough riots by DeForest Brown in conjunction with African American professionals and neighborhood leaders to aid in bringing economic prosperity to the Hough neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. Dedicated to African American self-determination, the group initially met in secret in order to prevent competition for dollars and outside attempts to control it. The group promoted African American business entrepreneurship and better housing. The collection consists of photographs and negatives of individual and group portraits of Hough Area Development Corporation Board members and staff; group portraits of programs, parties and banquets, and meetings; and views of streets of the Hough neighborhood, Hough community buildings, MLK Plaza businesses, industrial businesses, and individual houses.
