| Abstract: |
Operation Black Unity was a coalition of groups and people, founded in 1969, interested in the progress of the African American
population of Cleveland, Ohio. Membership consisted of churches, black nationalists, and civil rights groups. The organization
was co-chaired by Reverend Donald S. Jacobs, Reverend Jonathan Ealy, and William O. Walker. One of its main projects was securing
African American ownership of McDonald's restaurants in the city of Cleveland. The collection consists of minutes, reports,
speech texts, correspondence, pamphlets, brochures, press releases, newspaper clippings, and miscellaneous memorabilia.
