Hough Area Development Corporation.

Hide Profile

The Hough Area Development Corporation (f. 1967) was formed in the wake of the Hough riots by DeForest Brown in conjunction with black professionals and neighborhood leaders to aid in bringing economic prosperity to Cleveland's Hough neighborhood. Dedicated to black self-determination, the group initially met in secret in order to prevent competition for dollars and outside attempts to control it. The group promoted Black business entrepreneurship and better housing.
