Annual Meeting 2026
April 20 @ 6:00pm — Rodman Library Auditorium
Building the Stark County Black History Museum
Presented by Dr. Tameka Ellington
Join us for an inspiring presentation by Dr. Tameka Ellington, the first Curator of Black History at the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum, as she discusses the visionary journey of "Building the Stark County Black History Museum."
This session offers a deep dive into the mission to preserve and celebrate the rich, often untold legacy of Black residents in Stark County—from the early pioneers of the 1800s to the community leaders of today. Dr. Ellington will share insights into the collaborative efforts with the Committee to Preserve Stark County Black History and the exciting process of uncovering "hidden" history through community archives, family heirlooms, and oral traditions.
