Celebrating the Birthplace of Superman

A Cleveland Legacy

CCCFDC supported the unveiling of the Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster Tribute Plaza outside the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland on August 2, 2025, honoring Cleveland as the birthplace of Superman.

The plaza features an 18-foot Superman statue and additional commemorative elements celebrating the creators and their legacy.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster met while attending Glenville High School in Cleveland, where they began developing the Superman character. Joanne Siegel later served as the inspiration for Lois Lane.
