It's 1981. Reagan was just inaugurated. Cleveland is emerging from default. We're reeling from manufacturing losses and racial division.

The Greater Cleveland Roundtable, a group of CEOs and community leaders, is searching for methods to regain their region's growth and how to include folks of color.

81/61 reckons with their effort by exploring the organization's document archive and to tell a story about where we have been in the last 40 years and how we might achieve racial equity in the next 40.

81/61 is an original series from the Greater Cleveland Partnership.
