"Reshaping the Narrative" Exhibition

Akron Soul Train and the Black Artists Guild are teaming up to produce an exhibition titled “Reshaping the Narrative”.  The “Reshaping the Narrative” exhibition will show positive stories of African Americans to promote equity, empathy and empowerment for all. The exhibition will include a 30-minute film telling the stories of some of Akron’s black families who migrated here, along with large photographs and a curation of family heirlooms.  Communicating these stories across platforms will aid in reshaping the narrative of Akron’s African Americans and how they migrated north for a better life, for their survival, and how replanting their roots helped establish family legacies.
