Book Overview

Among southwest Cleveland suburbs, Berea, a community of 19,000, is unique. Berea was once called "The Sandstone Capital of the World," but the area's quarrying industry ceased in the mid-20th century. Immigrant quarrymen and their descendants remained, adding an eclectic and resilient mix to the academic atmosphere. Where blasting once shook the quarries, a pleasant area of lakes, trails, and picnic spots now delights residents and visitors alike. The historic home of the town's first doctor enjoys new life as a bed-and-breakfast, contemporary architecture integrates a historic church as part of the university, a wind turbine generates power for the fairgrounds, and community gardens offer produce to local food pantries.

In the Belly of the Beast: Letters From Prison in The Creativity of Captivity
The Creativity of Captivity
Published by Ashly Moore Sheldon • April 15, 2020

This week marks the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s eleven-day imprisonment in Birmingham Jail. The treatise he wrote there became an important touchstone for the American Civil Rights Movement. But this is only one of many great works written within the confines of a cell.
