PITTSBURGH.. All of the public in the Tri-State area and the nation are invited to attend an exciting exceptional project at the Senator John Heinz History Center to commemorate the history of the Pittsburgh Courier, starting on Friday, February 11, 2011, and this unique project will run until October 2, 2011.
The John Heinz History Center is mounting a major exhibition called "America's Best Weekly: A Century of the Pittsburgh Courier."
Mr. Samuel W. Black, curator of African American Collections at the Senator John Heinz History Center will head up a team of exemplary researchers who will introduce new facts about the founding of the Courier and highlight various aspects of the paper's profile and operations that are groundbreaking in American journalism. The multi-media exhibit will focus on the operations of The Pittsburgh Courier from 1910- to the present-not only looking at the major stories it covered but also examining and exploring the significance the Courier held in the Black community in Pittsburgh and throughout the world.
* I would like to see at least five to ten million people visit the Senator John Heinz History Center starting on February 11, 2011 to see this excellent exhibition. You could plan your vacation around visiting the Courier exhibition at said Center. It's a must see for all. And all teachers from K to the graduate level in college should plan field trips to visit the Heinz History Center during the month of February which is Black History Month.
* The Exhibition Will Open On Friday, February 11, 2011 and will run until October 2, 2011. For More Information, please contact the History Center at ( 412-454-6000).
