Akron at 200: A Bicentennial History offers a rich collection of in-depth essays that span the earliest days of the city's history to the present. This is not a comprehensive history of the City of Akron; it is, instead, a celebration of two hundred years of history. Readers can not only learn about significant figures, such as John Brown and Sojourner Truth, but also entrepreneurs, musicians, athletes, and other citizens who contributed to the growth and reputation of the city. Important political and religious leaders are profiled, as are the efforts of everyday Akronites to improve their city and its neighborhoods. With a deeper look at a wide range of subjects previously unexplored in published histories of the city, this book will inspire readers to better appreciate the remarkable history and promising future of Akron, Ohio.
