CLEVELAND, Ohio Big-time art world success came late for Cleveland painter Michelangelo Lovelace, and it was very sweet when it did. But he scarcely had time to savor it before his life was cut short last month by an illness.
One of the city’s most important artists of the past 35 years, and one of its leading African-American artists, Lovelace died April 26 at his home in Cleveland’s Cudell neighborhood at age 60 after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer, his widow, Shirley Lovelace, said. His funeral was held Wednesday.

CLEVELAND, Ohio Cleveland schools kicked off coronavirus vaccinations for teachers and staff on Tuesday, beginning with CEO Eric Gordon.
Gordon said he, and the other school leaders vaccinated on Tuesday morning at East Technical High School, hope to serve as an examples to the community. The vaccinations for school staff and teachers will run for the next two weeks, before looping around for the second dose. There needs to be a gap between the doses.
Though Cleveland schools staff are receiving first doses this week, the district has not yet set a return date for buildings. Gordon, in a Cleveland City Council meeting on Monday, said the best prediction would be April 5, the week after the vaccinations end.
