Welcome to the Real Flag of Cleveland's Site
Cleveland is a city fueled by unwavering civic pride, and our flag stands as one of the most powerful symbols of unity and community spirit. It represents our hardworking neighborhoods, our vibrant immigrant communities, and our dedicated, inclusive government. While our flag's design beautifully embodies Cleveland’s identity, its only challenge is a PR one — showcasing the pride and diversity that make our city truly exceptional.
In an effort to preserve Cleveland's rich history, Kristen Fragassi founded the “Real” Cleveland Flag initiative. The mission of this project is to safeguard and celebrate the city's cultural heritage, highlighting the meaningful symbols that define Cleveland, including the Hepburn Flag.
When we consider our stance, we are reminded of the many Cleveland communities that prioritize the preservation of our shared history. While Cleveland faces numerous challenges, our flag remains a proud emblem of our identity and resilience.
