An exhibit celebrating Black History Month will be displayed in the lobby of the City-County Building in downtown Pittsburgh beginning on the evening of Tuesday, February 5, and continuing weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Thursday, February 28.
“Enslavement & Freedom: Early African-American Life in Pittsburgh” will feature 37 artifacts from Africa and Pittsburgh, both pre- and post-slavery, including documentation from the first-ever Black bank in Pittsburgh, the City's 1840 census, a 10’x 8’ handwoven kente cloth, a 600-year-old drinking vessel and other historic artifacts.
The public is invited to attend the exhibit’s opening reception on:
Tuesday, February 5, 6 – 8 p.m.
The ceremony in the City-County Building lobby will include remarks by Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto and others involved with the City’s Black History Month celebration.

For the Fall semester 2018, the University will hold six “Be A Good Neighbor Block Parties.” The primary objective of these block parties is to bring students who live or will be living in specific Oakland neighborhoods together with long-term residents of those neighborhoods in a “get- to-know-one-another social setting.” Many long-term residents believe these efforts continue to be effective in the reduction of disruptive behavior from the student population. The University of Pittsburgh believes the block parties along with other “educational initiatives” undertaken by both internal and external partners have been major contributors to this reduction and that these efforts should be continued. In this regard, the following is the date for local block party for 2018:
September 20, 5:30-7:30pm South Oakland, Dan Marino Field, 3716 Frazier St

Explore the Schenley Farms National-Register Historic District in Oakland with docents from PHLF. Hear how real estate developer Franklin Nicola (1860-1938) realized his dream of creating an example of the “City Beautiful” ideal. Where cows grazed peacefully on a steep Oakland hillside, Nicola saw grand boulevards and elegant homes, hotels, and clubs. We’ll walk along the quiet residential streets of Schenley Farms, where Nicola’s company developed a high-quality residential community with the latest modern conveniences.
Participants will take a brief look inside Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum and William Pitt Union (originally, the Hotel Schenley). This tour will reveal the power of historic preservation, since many historic buildings have been sensitively repurposed for new uses.
Paid reservations by Tuesday, April 17, 2018.
Fee: members $10; non-members $35 (includes a one-year complimentary membership in PHLF)
