Dayton doesn't seem to get much national credit for being the cradle of Funk music outside of hip-hop historians and niche music fans. The Ohio Players, Lakeside, Zapp, Slave, Dayton, and Sun all came from the Miami Valley, and Bootsy Collins is from just down the road in Cincinnati.
Ohio in general was one of the major nexuses of the abolitionist movement, reflected particularly in Oberlin College being the oldest US college to accept black students, and Wilberforce University being the first private HBCU in the country.
