The 15th running of the Ohio Health Capital City Half Marathon photographed Saturday, April 28, 2018 on the streets of Columbus and the Columbus Commons.  It was a beautiful crisp morning for the race – a wonderful contrast on the previous years race which was called just after the first runners came in because of drenching and dangerous thunderstorm that moved thru the area. Once again I was in the Cap City Half Pace Truck with WBNS-TV‘s Dave Holmes doing live updates thru-out the race. I joke with people, that every year I finish first in the race because of this, without even breaking a sweat – LOL.

The Ohio Museums Association was proud to be a partner for Statehood Day 2018.

Fellow history advocates gathered at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus for the annual Statehood Day advocacy event on Wednesday, February 28, 2018.

They met with state legislators, networked with fellow history professionals and found out which local history organizations were awarded Ohio History Fund grants to support their local, regional and statewide projects, programs and events related to the state’s history.

This year’s event featured Christopher W.

During the 40-year period of the Great Migration (1900s–1940s) African Americans moved from the South to the North to escape Jim Crow era infringements and pursue greater political, economic and social opportunities. In Columbus, each decade witnessed growth in the size of its black population, resulting in changing demographics throughout the city.

In 1940, Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), with the United States Housing Authority (USHA), developed 426 dwelling units in 33 buildings to provide decent housing for blacks in Columbus, Ohio, replacing an area known as the “Blackberry Patch” on the East Side. The development was named for pastor and activist, Rev. James P. Poindexter. Its residents would be proud, aspiring and secure in bright and modern abodes. Many who forged paths north to Columbus during the Great Migration would find their dreams realized at Poindexter Village.

Over the next 70 years the Near East Side was affected by construction of the Interstate Highway system, urban flight and housing and employment opportunities offered by integration. Within Poindexter Village, conditions deteriorated. Despite capital improvements, minor repairs were generally halted, security became problematic and the homes of Poindexter were targeted for demolition and redevelopment.

The exhibit Poindexter Village: A Portrait in Stories at the Ohio History Center is funded in part by the Gordon Chandler Memorial Fund of The Columbus Foundation.
