CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio- Local community activist groups and Black elected officials, led by the Imperial Women Coalition and Black on Black Crime Inc, will host the 6th Anniversary of the Imperial Avenue Murders rally and vigil on Thursday,  Oct. 29 at 5;15 pm on Imperial Avenue in Cleveland in front of the since demolished home of serial killer and death row inmate Anthony Sowell. The day marks the 6th anniversary since 2009 when authorities began pulling dead bodies from the home on the city's largely Black east side.

.(Contact persons are community activists Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition at (216) 659-0473, Lavitta Murray of the Million Women March Cleveland at (216) 410-9830, Minister Gwen Pitts at (216) 233-4781, Activist Tammy Kennedy at (216) 703-2402, and Art McKoy of Black on Black Crime Inc. and the Black Man's Army at (216) 253-4070. Please bring protest signs against violence against women and children). (For directions to the rally/vigil take Kinsman Rd from downtown Cleveland to East 123rd Street. Turn left, and  go three blocks to Imperial Avenue).

Sowell, 56, was convicted in 2011 on 82 of 83 counts,  including 11 counts of aggravated murder of the 11 Black women that he strangled to death at his home, and three counts of rape as to the rape of three other Black women, also at his home. 

His convictions, including the death penalty imposed by a Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas jury, are on appeal before the Ohio Supreme Court.

Other issues of public concern relative to the rally, say activists, are the at large purported serial killer that killed four women  between early March and the middle of May in 2013, three Black and one White, along a strip at E. 93rd Street in Cleveland, also on the city's east side, and suspected East Cleveland serial killer Michael Madison, who is 
custody on a $6 million bond. 

Madison is accused of killing three Black women in 2013 and wrapping their bodies in Black trash bags. 

Black elected officials are slated to speak, along with community activists, Black clergy, and some family members of murdered Black women.

Participating activist groups include the Imperial Women Coalition, the Million Women March Cleveland, Sister to Sister, Black on Black Crime Inc., the Oppressed People's Nation, Peace in the Hood, the Black Man's Army, the Carl Stokes Brigade, the Cleveland African-American Museum, and Stop Targeting Ohio's Poor.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
