Pittsburgh's 250 Years of Black Excellence

As America approaches its historic Semiquincentennial, PittsburghUrbanMedia is launching a definitive, year-long campaign. We are permanently centering Black history, resilience, and triumph at the heart of Western Pennsylvania's identity. From the underground freedom lines of 1780 to the neighborhood builders, medical innovators, and cultural pioneers of today—this franchise will reclaim our central place in the narrative of this Commonwealth.
