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.

Judi Hill heads up the Akron chapter of the NAACP, and she talked about how her mother was a major influence on her growing up, and how she has taken on that leadership role well into adulthood.

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.
