The Slovenian Museum and Archives (SMA) provides a resolution to the critical situation in the Slovenian Community of Cleveland today. We are rapidly losing our beloved ancestors, and we are faced with the real possibility of losing our ethnic history and identity as well. We are the privileged inheritors of a legacy, not only of precious pieces of rich, ethnic, artistic and linguistic works, but

also of a compelling story of migrating and thriving in America and in our City of Cleveland. We have an obligation to our ancestors, our families and to history to tell our story. Slovenian Cleveland, the largest community of Slovenians outside of
Slovenia, is now building its heart, a home, in which our rich and diversified legacy can be preserved and celebrated with our minds set on the future.

Today, on what would have been George Voinovich's 90th birthday, we remember a leader whose belief in public service, collaboration, and bringing people together helped shape Ohio for generations.

A celebration of that legacy will continue through the traveling exhibition "Together We Can Do It!", based upon the exhibition at Slovenian Museum and Archives / Slovenski muzej in arhiv exploring Voinovich's life, leadership, and lasting impact.

George Voinovich was only the second person to be Mayor of Cleveland, Governor of Ohio, and U.S. Senator. The first was Frank Lausche, another Slovenian-American.

Beginning this fall, "Together We Can Do It!" will travel to of Cleveland - City Hall, the Ohio Statehouse, and Ohio University's Libraries Archives & Special Collections giving Ohioans across the state the opportunity to experience this remarkable story.

We're proud to help share this exhibition as part of America's 250th anniversary year in Ohio.
