Title	Akronite News Magazine Featuring Article on Tolerance
Subject	African American Ohioans Literary Ohio Race relations
Place	Akron (Ohio) Summit County (Ohio)
Description	This edition of The Akronite, an African American monthly news magazine published from 1963 until 1965, features an article titled "Intelligence Eliminates the Need for the Word 'Tolerance." The edition also features advertisements for Goodyear and Lyons Hair Service. The magazine is approximately 15 pages; the first three pages are represented here. It measures 4.5" x 5.5" (11.43 x 13.97 cm). The Akronite was edited by Opie Evans (1906-2002) and featured news, commentary, and biographies of many of Akron's African-American residents. The mission of publication, according to Evans, was "to create a voice and medium of expression to achieve better racial relations by understanding." Evans worked as a photographer for Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, served as a community relations official for the city of Akron, and hosted a community television program for WAKR television, and a religious program on WCUE radio.
