A gift of any size will go a long way to bring this project to fruition. You will receive first notice of screenings of this work.

 

With increased interest in remembering the stories and contributions of Black people sparked by the 2016 launch of the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the commemoration of the United Nation’s International Decade for People of African Descent from 2014 to 2024, this project offers the opportunity to explore the untold Great Migration stories of African Americans in Pittsburgh while also making connections to social movements promoting the dignity and humanity of all people. 

 

Please help us share these stories.
