Rubber Worker Statue

The Akron Stories Project is a grassroots initiative to collect, preserve, and celebrate the stories of Akron’s rubber workers and their descendants. Art x Love created the website, marketing materials, managed the sale of commemorative bricks, developed the interactive kiosk, led the oral history project, and handled all communications (digital, print, phone, mail). Our team interviewed hundreds of people, collected thousands of stories, and mined extensive public and private archives to bring their stories to life. To explore the stories, learn more about the project, and support the initiative, please visit AkronStories.com
