The Diversity Center is the leading advocate for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in Northeast Ohio. Diversity has been our mission – and our challenge – since 1927.

We believe diversity makes us all stronger – in our classrooms, our workplaces, and across our community.

But achieving diversity is harder than ever. In today’s polarized environment, racism and bigotry continue to thrive. Our work has never been more important.

You can help us create a more diverse, inclusive community by participating in our 67th Annual Humanitarian Award Virtual Celebration.

Connor, Retired Chairman & CEO, The Sherwin-Williams Company, William Lacey, President & CEO, GE Lighting, a Savant Company, Dee and Jimmy Haslam, Haslam Sports, Owners, Cleveland Browns, and Master of Ceremonies Russ Mitchell, Channel 3 News Anchor, WKYC-TV-3, and other special guests as we:
