Honoring and commemorating 200 years of historic contributions to American culture made by the city of Akron.

This resolution would have the U.S. House of Representatives honor the city of Akron, Ohio, on the 200th anniversary of its founding on December 6, 1825. It lists events and people from Akron's history, including the town's founding, its role in the Underground Railroad, Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech, the rubber industry, the 1936 rubber strike, and people born in the city. The resolution would recognize the city's history of fighting for economic, gender, and racial justice. It would also encourage Akron to keep supporting workers' rights.
