Mayor Jackson has declared April 18th Superman Day (also in honor of Superman's 75th anniversary) playing upon the creation of Superman (April 18th, 1938) when he first appeared on the cover of "Action Comics No. 1" by DC. Superman was created by two residents of the Glenville neighborhood (one of my favorite Cleveland neighborhoods) by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
The city is hoping the denizens of Cleveland will help celebrate by sending in (safe for work) photos of yourself in Superman poses, in costume, etc. They may be sent in via twitter using the hashtag #SuperCle or submissions can be emailed to communications@city.cleveland.oh.us
Some submissions are already up.
Cleveland has it's share of problems, that is true, however there is a resilience to the citizens, who have been through quite a bit and are doing their best to bounce back. I hope that by celebrating our accomplishments we will remember just how much we have.
