Diamond in the Light:

Art & Advocacy Honoring Legacy and Resilience

Diamonds in the Light was a powerful evening of spoken word, music, and storytelling under the lights at Cleveland’s Historic League Park. Held in honor of the 1945 Cleveland Buckeyes Negro League Champions, the event celebrated legacy, resilience, and artistic expression through the voices of some of the region’s most dynamic spoken word artists.

Featuring poets who spoke truth to power, shared personal narratives, and honored the cultural roots of the game, Diamonds in the Light was more than a performance—it was a space for reflection, healing, and connection. With live music and community energy filling the park, it was a night where stories came alive and history was honored through art. Stay tuned for more events that honor the past, preserve the present, and shape the future.
