Meet local author Dr. Jon Miller and learn about his new book celebrating the bicentennial of the city of Akron.
Akron is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2025. This new book, “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. Program attendees 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.
Dr. Jon Miller is Director of The University of Akron Press and a Professor of English at the University of Akron. Registration recommended.
