Alfred Cleveland of the Ohio 4, is a passionate advocate, speaker, and survivor who turned tragedy into triumph after being wrongfully convicted for 25.5 years and fighting his way out. Having endured the depths of injustice, Cleveland emerged not only with his freedom but with an unshakable mission—to reform the justice system and bring the families and those wrongfully convicted inspiration and hope to continue in their fight.
A brilliant creative with raw authenticity and a powerful voice, Cleveland shares his harrowing journey through the courts, into the bowels of prison where he embarked on a mission of self-growth and education, and began fighting for his freedom, and for others who could not speak for themselves. His story is not just one of survival but of resilience, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
Today, Al Cleveland travels the country, empowering audiences with his message of strength, faith, perseverance, and the power of truth. Through his work as Stage director for their new play, “The Lynched Among Us”, Cleveland challenges society to rethink justice, be properly enraged, and believe in the human spirit’s ability to overcome even the darkest trials.
