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.

Teresa LaGrier is with the Akron Urban League, and she has done pretty much everything one can do in the city, and she has made a difference every step of the way. She has served on several boards and committees over the years, and has made her volunteer work a passion.

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.
