In Their Path 2009!
 Since
its founding in 2003, Restore Cleveland Hope, Inc.has worked
passionately to save the Cozad-Bates House. On
April 7, 2006, University Hospitals graciously
donated the house to University Circle, Inc.Restore Cleveland Hope, Inc.
grew out of IN THEIR PATH 2003, a 519-mile
Underground Railroad walk and has expanded
into a community organization that presents
educational workshops and intergenerational programs.
Now, RCH moves forward to establish an Underground
Railroad Education and Resource Center in the Cozad-Bates House,
the only pre-Civil War house still standing in
the University Circle area. We are determined to hold onto
the courageous spirit of that movement and nurture Dr.
Martin
 Luther King’s vision of the Beloved Community.
On May 30, 2009,
80-year-old Joan Southgate
“completed the circle” by walking 250
miles from St. Catharines, Canada, to
Cleveland’s Cozad-Bates’ house to raise money
for RCH programming and for restoring this grand
house.
