Understanding Who We Are:

Sokol Greater Cleveland is the non-profit organization registered with the State, representing the Slavic physical & gymnastics movement.**

The Czech Cultural Center represents/showcases the ethnic traditions and heritage of the Czech, Bohemian, Moravian, Slovak, Rusyn peoples of what was historically the Czech lands.  It includes The Sokol movement, but also differentiated from it.

Bohemian National Hall is a grand old building (built by Czech emigrants) on the National Register of Historical Buildings and the home of both SGC & the Czech Cultural Center.

**Wikipedia:  “The movement also spread across all the regions populated by Slavic cultures, most of them part of either Austria-Hungary or the Russian Empire: present-day Slovakia, the Slovene LandsCroatiaSerbia (SK Soko), BulgariaPoland (Sokół), UkraineBelarus. In many of these nations, the organization also served as an early precursor to the Scouting movements. “

For 150+ years in the United States, American Sokol has helped to shape the lives of Olympians, Diplomats, Artists, Athletes,
and most importantly, every-day-wonderful people like you.
