Black history is deeply woven into the fabric of Pittsburgh, shaping the city’s culture, economy, and social progress. From the early days of the Underground Railroad to the rise of Black leaders in business, education, and the arts, Pittsburgh has long been a hub for Black excellence and resilience.
