The Forgotten History Forum Series explores aspects of Akron's history pivotal to our development but not often discussed.
About this Event

Join us for the next installment of the Forgotten History Forum Series presented by the FirstEnergy Foundation, with our exclusive media partner, PBS Western Reserve.

Brad Savage of The Summit FM moderates a discussion of Akron's time in the spotlight of the indie/new wave/punk music world, circa 1978 to 1983. You'll hear about it from the artists who were there! There was (and still is) a vibrant music community in Akron, OH! Beyond the success of Devo and The Pretenders, there were The Bizarros, Stiff Records, Rachel Sweet, Tin Huey, Unit 5 and many more.

Please note the venue and time change. This event will be held at the Akron-Summit County Public Library Main Auditorium (60 S High Street). Doors open at 5:30, with the forum beginning at 6:00, followed by a Q+A session.
