We are delighted to share the program and recordings of 2021 Keithley Symposium, Monumental Conversations: City Stories that was held on December 3, 2021. The symposium was guided by the questions: what is the story of Cleveland, where does it live? Each panel explored different ways that Cleveland’s public landscape shaped human experience, carried multiple and sometimes fraught histories, and what needed to change.
