True Cultures…

I was roaming around on Facebook, and happened on the page of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. (The Cultural Gardens are one of my first and favorite impressions of Cleveland.)

This quote from Leo Weidenthal, founder of the Cleveland Cultural Garden seemed to speak directly to the collective conversation that's been going on in the Lithuanian community in Cleveland lately.

"True cultures impose no barriers of race or creed. In fact, their influence is toward mutual understanding and wider sympathy. Cleveland offers the world a tangible manifestation of this truth. Cosmopolitan to a degree that few cities have been since the far dawn of civilization, Cleveland possesses a cultural institution which exemplifies the oneness of purpose linking great cultures of the world." - Leo Weidenthal, founder of the Cleveland Cultural Garden
