“Madam President, my home of Cleveland, OH, is one of our Nation's historic great centers of industry. Our manufacturing base helped to build our country's infrastructure to win World War II and to spur our economy to new heights in the 21st century. We are not only home to great makers, we are home to great creators as well. We are the home of rock and roll--the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in downtown Cleveland--great athletes and authors, people such as Jesse Owens and Toni Morrison, and we are home to great art. Cleveland is the home to world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra, Playhouse Square, Karamu House, the NASA-designated Great Lakes Science Center, and one of the largest and best art museums not just in the United States but in the world, the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Museums were established across the Midwest. That is why cities such as Youngstown, Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland--cities that may not have been the Nation's largest, especially when you look at Dayton, Youngstown, and Toledo, but cities that were prosperous--created great products, created great wealth, and made huge contributions to start these cultural centers. Ohio is one of the leading States in the Nation as far as locations of good art museums in pretty much all of our major cities.…”
