Join us at The Dayton Womans's Club for an evening of storytelling, connection, and impact as we highlight the Black community members who have shaped the Miami Valley for generations.This program, presented by Children’s Historical Publishing, shines a light on local African American leaders whose stories are often overlooked. Celebrating their contributions enriches community memory and identity while honoring the resilience that has shaped Dayton’s history.
Our featured speakers, Kweku Larry Crowe and Olabisi Olakolade, co-authors of "The History of Hope in the Making: The Legacy of African Americans in Dayton," will share their motivations, research, and insights beyond the published pages. Together, they have preserved the voices and legacies of Dayton’s African American community for future generations.
