We Take You There: African American History:

July 8th 2018:

From Slavery to Leadership; Celebrating Massillon's African American Heritage!

(Massillon): From the perils of escaping slavery through the underground railroad; to the sweat and endurance to do whatever it takes to survive; to having the courage and fortitude to take a stand against daily adversity; the history of Massillon's African American Families runs long and deep.

'MassillonLIVE' had the opportunity to sit down with our Ed Grier and Bill Poole to take a closer look at some of our African American Families and the roles they played that made our community stronger. These are families with strong hearts and deep pride.

Below is our interview with Mr. Grier and Mr. Poole.
