This event will be a critical conversation about the state of Black well-being in Pittsburgh. Five years ago, the Pittsburgh Inequality Across Gender and Race report was released, affirming what many Black Pittsburgh residents knew to be true about their quality of life in the city. The report demonstrated that despite Pittsburgh being named one of the most livable cities in the country numerous times, certain indices of livability were extremely low for Black residents, specifically Black women. Pointedly, the report indicated that Pittsburgh was not the livable city for Black residents that it was for white residents. Today, many are left wondering whether anything has changed since the report was released in 2019. This event hopes to answer that question. Confirmed panelists include PA State Rep. Lindsay Powell and former Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto.
