Booklet describes a May 5 Cleveland lunch-hour gathering at Public Square in front of Terminal Tower; organizers say the site was not secured until that morning. Mayor George V. Voinovich's reproduced proclamation anticipates arrival/viewing/ringing on May 5 but names no venue. Heading says “NSA FREEDOM DAY” while operative clause says “NSA NEW FREEDOM DAY” — variants of one observance, not separate days. Narrative shortens to “New Freedom Day.” Organizer crowd estimate >1,000.

Limits: crowd/logistics = organizer testimony; proclamation ≠ certified original or attendance proof; does not place Parks in Cleveland; NSA = Buddhist lay org. Distinct from #456 Detroit next day. Standing three hundred forty held.
