Pittsburgh’s Hill District

March 2, 2022

Have you ever read about the history of Pittsburgh’s Hill District? It has a phenomenal history. At its height (about 1930s-1960s), it was a thriving, vibrant community that inspired August Wilson’s Fences, and a nationally recognized hub of culture, business, and music for the African American community. The Pittsburgh Courier had a national distribution, and entrepreneurs (especially women) thrived on a national level.
