Forgotten History Forum Series

Join us for the next installment of the Forgotten History Forum Series presented by the FirstEnergy Foundation, with our exclusive media partner, PBS Western Reserve.

Uncover the vital role Akron’s Deaf community played in shaping the city’s legacy as the Rubber Capital of the World and the city’s identity as the “Crossroads of the Deaf.”

Melissa Bradley Musser, a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) and Akron native, shares her family story, including her grandfather’s role during the Great Migration and the vibrant Deaf culture they built.

This event will take place at the Akron-Summit County Public Library in the Main Auditorium. ASL interpretation provided. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn about this forgotten chapter of our city’s past—reserve your seat today!
