WAKR and the Ray Horner Morning Show are featuring a member of the black community in Akron who have made an impact by their courage and leadership.

Reverend Ron Fowler talks about what Black History Month means to him, who influenced him during his youth, and his rise to leading his congregation at the Arlington Church of God.

Akron’s Celebration of Black History this month is brought to you by the Akron-Summit County Public Library and the Metro Regional Transit Authority.
