 CLEVELAND, Ohio- Vigils and rallies organized by community activists and a cousin of Tamir Rice, who is expected to bring buses from Ferguson to the events, will be held at 10 am on Saturday, Dec 20 and Sunday, Dec. 21 at the Cudell Recreation Center on the Cleveland's largely White west side where the 12-year-old Black boy was slain by Cleveland police on Nov 22 for sporting a toy pellet gun. On Saturday there will also be a forum at Cudell, organizers said. (Editor's note: The address of the Cudell Recreation Center is 1910 West Boulevard in Cleveland).
The events are  being billed as the Cleveland-Ferguson stance to also remember Michael Brown, the Black teen slain in Ferguson, Missouri by former police officer Darrin Wilson, whom a grand jury last month refused to indict on criminal charges. 

 Organizers have said that Ferguson protesters will stand in solidarity with Clevelanders.

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
