A
A
Wow
I
feel,
like
a
megachurch,
be
sure
up
here.
Looking
out
the
black
Joel
Olsteen
I
guess
my
name
is
Tony
Norman
and
I.
Am
a
newspaper
columnist
and
I
understand
that
this
is
supposed
to
be
like
a
ted
ted
talk,
style
presentation,
but
I'm
an
ink-stained,
wretch
I,
don't
have
those
kind
of
skills.
You
know
I'm,
not
the
mayor.
I'm
not
just
c
reacts,
I'm,
not
one
of
Pittsburgh's
top
movers
and
shakers
like
by
Grant
I'm,
just
a
disreputable
newspaper
columnist
and
in
that
capacity
I
just
want
to.
A
You
know,
talk
for
five
minutes
and
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
what
I
feel
is
happening
in
Pittsburgh
when
I
moved
the
Pittsburgh
from
New
York
nearly
30
years
ago.
The
city
was
a
mess
there,
weren't
even
street
signs
downtown
and
the
street
signs
that
were
downtown
weren't
even
in
English.
Now,
people
who
were
here
will
back
me
out
for
at
least
a
little
bit
of
that
I'm,
only
slightly
exaggerating
and
though
Pittsburgh
wasn't
belching
fire
out
of
black
and
smoke
stacks.
A
It
conformed
to
the
most
stereotypes
of
what
a
post-industrial
city
was
supposed
to
look
like.
The
air
was
clear
than
it
had
been
in
decades,
but
that's
because
the
mills
had
shut
down
in
the
early
80s,
the
heavy
metal
particulate
count
had
dropped,
but
there
was
still
enough
to
spare
swirling
around
neighborhoods,
like
Homewood
and
garfield
in
the
Hill
District.
To
take
your
breath
away,
my
wife
and
I
had
an
informal
deal
to
go
back
to
New
York,
the
second.
She
was
done
with
her
studies
at
pits.
A
Graduate
School
of
Economics
I
was
ready
to
cash
in
that
promise.
Sooner
than
later,
because
as
an
underemployed
and
often
unemployed,
black
man
with
a
college
education,
Pittsburgh
didn't
have
a
lot
to
offer.
Me
I
also
had
a
short
afro
at
the
time,
but
I
couldn't
find
a
place
to
buy
a
pic
which
struck
me
as
very,
very
strange
in
the
fall
of
nineteen.
Eighty-Seven.
That
to
me
was
the
kind
of
economic
indicator
that
mattered.
What
kind
of
city
were
we
living
in?
A
A
A
That
happened
and
what
I
call
the
old
pittsburgh
such
a
travesty
is
less
likely
to
happen
in
what
pittsburgh
is
becoming
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
These
days,
we're
more
likely.
He
asked
questions
specifically
tailored
around
how
to
go
about
advancing
the
just
and
sustainable
city
we
know
Pittsburgh
can
be.
A
We
know
that
as
the
heirs
of
teeny
Harris,
Mary,
Ann,
Williams,
Francis,
Scott,
Key
and
Andy
Warhol,
we
no
longer
have
to
be
confronted
with
the
false
choice
of
either
self
exile
or
death
in
obscurity
when
trying
to
make
it
in
this
town,
as
new
people
have
come
into
this
community
for
school,
for
work
or
for
the
challenge
of
just
trying
to
make
it
in
Pittsburgh,
they've
bought
a
lot
of
fresh
ideas
and
thinking
with
them.
They've
entered
once
more
abound
institutions
and
made
them
more
receptive
to
new
ideas
and
ways
of
doing
things.
A
More
importantly,
new
people
have
brought
fresh
sets
of
eyes
and
values,
with
they're
able
to
look
at
the
people
and
places
old-timers
have
taken
for
granted
with
the
enthusiasm
of
new
converts
and,
more
importantly,
they're
willing
to
roll
their
sleeves
and
work.
A
new
optimism
is
beginning
to
take
root.
There's
a
new
realization
that
Pittsburgh's
greatest
resource,
isn't
it's
cool
restaurants
or
its
riverfronts.
Our
greatest
resource
are
the
people
already
here.
A
It
can
be
seen
in
the
do-it-yourself
ethic
of
the
residents
of
Homewood
who
are
teaming
up
with
the
city
to
buy
the
empty,
abandoned
lots
next
to
their
homes,
to
convert
into
community
gardens.
It
can
be
seen
an
event
in
the
visionary
entrepreneurship
of
a
young
just
as
strong
who
opened
a
club
called
shadow
lounge
and
a
rundown
commercial
area
of
east
liberty.
A
Years
before
whole
foods
arrived,
it
can
be
seen
and
all
the
public
and
private
efforts
to
reach
in
to
marginalize
neighborhoods,
with
efforts
to
draw
out
and
recognize
the
talent
and
humanity
of
the
young
people
there
before
it
is
validated
somewhere
else.
Currently,
Pittsburgh
is
not
a
just
city,
but
it
is
on
its
way
to
becoming
one.
It
may
top
many
of
the
most
livable
city
lists,
but
those
of
us
who
know
the
city
best
know
it
still
has
its
it's
still
in
its
chrysalis
stage
of
development.
A
It
has
a
long
way
to
go.
Much
of
the
progress
here
is
still
concentrated
in
a
handful
of
communities.
Not
too
long
ago,
my
buddy
Carl
ma
jiro
Zumba,
the
Pittsburgh
history
and
landmarks
foundation,
said
something
uncharacteristically
wise
for
helm.
We
were
in
the
middle
of
an
argument
and
he
said
that,
contrary
to
its
reputation,
Pittsburgh
is
a
very
diverse
City.
A
The
problem
with
Pittsburgh
is
is
that
it
isn't
integrated,
still
there's
a
willingness
on
a
part
of
many
of
major
players
in
town
to
encourage
the
talent
that
is
already
here
to
grow
and
assert
itself.
After
all,
the
foundations
and
the
philanthropic
community
stepped
in
to
save
the
august
wilson
center,
where
they
had
failed
and
many
have
written
it
off
for
dead,
and
today
it
is
clear
that
the
august
wilson
center
has
found
its
footing
and
it's
carving
out
a
space
in
a
larger
cultural
community.
A
A
We
will
hear
about
that
over
many
sessions
over
the
next
two
days
for
this
session
on
advancing
the
Justice
sustainable
city
will
hear
from
Angela
glover
blackwell,
president
and
CEO
of
policy
link,
and
she
will
be
followed
by
majestic
lane,
deputy
chief
of
neighborhood,
empowerment
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
finally,
we'll
hear
from
John
Wallace
a
professor
at
the
school
of
social
work
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh,
and
he's
going
to
put
some
bones
on
some
of
my
vague
ramblings
and
thank
you
very
much
Pittsburgh.
This
is
an
honor
to
be
here.
A
A
B
I'm
Angela,
Glover,
Blackwell,
CEO
of
policy
link
and
I
am
delighted
to
be
back
with
you
here
in
Pittsburgh
for
the
p4
celebration
in
continuation.
I
was
here
the
last
time
and
I
must
say
that
I'm
really
excited
to
be
invited
back,
because
the
last
time
I
felt
like
the
skunk
that
came
to
the
garden
party
for
those
of
you
who
weren't
here.
Let
me
review
for
you
what
it
was
that
I
said.
B
I
was
so
excited
about
Pittsburgh,
because
I'm,
a
city
person,
I
love
cities
and
when
cities
are
making
a
comeback
right
now,
I
am
just
thrilled,
because
I
think
that
the
cities
are
really
the
jewel
in
the
crown
of
the
country
and
we
have
neglected
them.
So
much
so
I
was
excited
to
see
pittsburgh
celebrating
the
fact
that
it
was
making
a
comeback
being
deliberate
about
how
to
guide
that,
and
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
excitement
would
have
to
be
tempered.
If
the
comeback
is
not
an
all-in.
Come
back.
B
I
had
to
point
out
that
if
it
turns
out
that
Pittsburgh
and
the
p4
and
the
effort
to
be
able
to
attract
businesses
and
excitement,
if
it
doesn't
get
really
embedded
with
equity,
it
doesn't
lead
with
equity
if
it
doesn't
achieve
equity,
it's
not
a
model,
it's
not
a
model
for
the
nation.
It's
not
a
model
for
the
world
when
I
use
the
term
equity.
What
I
mean
is
just
and
fair
inclusion
into
a
society
in
which
all
can
participate,
prosper
and
reach
their
full
potential.
B
I
pointed
out
that
the
things
that
are
needed
for
the
future
really
require
that
those
people
who
are
going
to
be
the
future
or
ready
to
leave
ready
to
contribute
ready
to
be
full
partners.
As
you
know,
we're
rapidly
becoming
a
nation
in
which
majority
will
be
people
of
color
very
soon.
What
that
means
that
people
of
color
don't
become
the
middle
class
there'll
be
no
middle
class.
If
we
don't
tap
the
entrepreneurial
spirit
that
people
of
color
are
just
so
full
of
will
be
missing.
B
That
entrepreneurial
spirit
is,
we
think
about
how
we're
going
to
be
in
the
economy.
I
made
the
point
that
the
equity
agenda,
while
it
will
always
be
the
moral
agenda,
has
become
a
national
and
economic
imperative
and
that
Pittsburgh
had
to
figure
out
how
to
be
fully
inclusive
and
if
it
didn't,
things
would
fall
really
short
of
the
Magnificent
aspirations.
The
amazing
news
for
me
and
I
hope
that
it's
good
news
for
you
is
that
that
challenge
that
I
put
out
has
been
completely
picked
up.
B
We
know
that
if
we
get
it
right,
we
get
it
right
in
a
way
that
is
sustainable.
The
good
news
is
that
the
agenda
that
Grant
talked
about,
in
which
we
see
ourselves
in
the
other,
in
which
we
really
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
lift
everybody
up.
That
agenda
will
always
be
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
it's
going
to
produce
in
the
long
run.
B
If
we
get
rid
of
inequities
in
income
and
employment,
the
GDP
of
the
nation
will
be
two
point:
one
trillion
dollars
higher
in
the
Pittsburgh
region,
it'll
be
five
billion
dollars
higher.
So
we
know
that
getting
this
right
is
going
to
make
the
economy
right,
but
we
also
know
that
it's
going
to
invest
in
the
environment.
It's
going
to
make
sure
that
we
deal
with
the
planet
in
ways
that
are
necessary.
It
will
make
sure
that
the
places
in
Pittsburgh
or
places
where
everybody
can
feel
good
about
living
where
all
the
neighborhoods
are
contributing.
B
That
means,
when
you
focus
on
people,
when
you
focus
on
equity,
you
have
to
have
a
focus
on
results.
If
you're
focusing
on
results
for
people,
you've
got
to
measure
those
results,
you
have
to
have
metrics
that
are
people.
Centered
you've
got
to
be
able
to
think
about
what
are
the
outcomes
that
we
want,
and
how
are
we
doing
asking
that?
B
How
are
we
doing
question
is
not
a
question
can
be
answered
if
you're
not
measuring
how
people
are
doing
so,
as
we
think
about
equitable
development,
we've
actually
lasted
landed
on
a
few
things
that
are
absolutely
essential.
One
is
we
have
to
raise
the
bar
on
new
development
if
we're
going
to
lead
with
equity,
if
we're
going
to
focus
on
equity,
if
we
want
to
achieve
full
inclusion,
we've
got
to
raise
the
bar
and
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
the
equity
agenda.
B
B
We
know
that
in
this
nation
that
we
have
become
a
place
in
which,
where
you
live,
is
a
proxy
for
opportunity.
We
know
it
when
we
just
look
around.
We
feel
it
when
we're
making
decisions
about
where
to
buy
our
own
homes.
We
know
that
where
you
live
is
approximate
II,
it
determines
whether
or
not
you
get
to
go
to
a
good
school.
It
determines
whether
or
not
you
live
near
opportunity
or
a
transit
system
that
can
connect
you
to
opportunity.
B
It
even
determines
how
long
you
live
and
how
well
you
live
while
you
live,
and
so
in
the
development
process,
we
have
to
focus
on
making
sure
that
every
community
is
a
community
of
opportunity,
but
we
also
have
to
expand
employment
and
entrepreneurial
activities
to
be
able
to
fully
participate.
People
need
jobs,
but
they
need
good
jobs,
jobs
with
living
wages,
jobs
with
benefits
jobs,
with
the
prospect
of
being
able
to
move
forward
into
career,
and
so
in
the
development
process.
B
We've
got
to
focus
on
what
kind
of
jobs
are
going
to
come
with
this
development
who's
going
to
get
these
jobs.
Are
there
going
to
be
contracting
opportunities
that
can
be
unbundled
so
that
entrepreneurs
of
color
and
women
will
be
able
to
participate?
The
development
process
has
to
be
clear
about
that.
The
next
thing
we
have
to
focus
on
is
embedding
racial
equity
in
every
institution
and
in
every
business.
B
We
have
to
reflect
on
that
and
think
about
how
race
continues
to
operate,
how
it's
become
institutionalized,
how
it's
no
accident
that
black
men
are
disproportionately
incarcerated,
that
it's
no
accident,
that
the
same
communities
that
are
red
line
or
the
communities
now
that
are
suffering
from
underinvestment.
It's
no
accident
that
people
have
not
had
access
to
the
jobs
that
have
the
the
biggest
possibility
of
being
able
to
move
forward.
The
things
that
have
happened
that
have
created
the
racial
inequities
did
not
happen
by
accident
and
they
won't
be
fixed
unless
we
focus
on
them
directly.
B
So
we're
going
to
have
to
really
embed
a
racial
equity
analysis
and
lens
in
everything
that
we
do,
whether
we're
thinking
about
water,
whether
we're
thinking
about
transportation,
whether
we're
thinking
about
housing,
businesses
that
are
thinking
how
are
we
going
to
build
the
workforce?
That's
needed
businesses
that
are
thinking.
How
are
we
going
to
make
sure
that
our
relationship
with
the
community
is
one
that
is
healthy
and
helps
to
really
be
in
this
together?
B
It
have
to
embed
that
racial
lens,
and
we
have
to
build
the
power,
the
voice
and
the
agency
of
community
members
that
we
will
not
have
what
we
want.
If
we
don't
do
it
in
partnership
policy
link,
working
with
neighborhood
allies
and
urban
innovation
21
and
talking
with
community
groups
all
across
this
community,
we
really
recognize
that
there
is
a
power
difference.
There
is
a
voice
difference.
B
There
is
an
agency
difference
and
when
you
invest
in
building
that
power
that
voice
that
agency
of
people
from
the
community
truths
come
forward,
insights
come
forward
things,
don't
get
pushed
under
the
table.
Issues
get
dealt
with
for
the
length
of
time
they
need
to
be
dealt
with
in
order
to
get
solved,
not
just
the
length
of
time
that
people
are
interested
in
this
new
thing.
That's
coming
up
to
have
sustainable
change.
You
have
to
really
be
in
partnership
with
people
who
understand
the
problem
in
depth.
B
What's
coming
the
most
the
people
who
have
needed
the
jobs
that
are
now
coming
to
this
city,
the
people
who
have
needed
entrepreneurial
activities
in
their
neighborhoods,
the
people
who
have
needed
for
the
institution's
to
have
the
resources
to
be
able
to
produce
what's
needed
in
terms
of
education
and
job
training
programs,
the
people
who
have
needed
those
investments,
the
most
are
the
ones
that
get
pushed
out.
That
problem
won't
be
solved
without
policy.
B
The
first
policy
ought
to
be
raised
the
bar
on
new
development,
so
that
whenever
you're
doing
anything,
you're
thinking
about
how
to
embed
affordability,
the
way
that
they
have
done
in
San,
Francisco
and
I
lift
up
San
Francisco,
not
as
a
model
for
you
to
copy,
because
San
Francisco
is
a
place
that
has
waited
too
late
to
deal
with
the
affordability
problem.
The
black
population
in
San
Francisco,
just
during
the
time
that
I
have
lived
in
the
bay
area,
has
gone
from
about
fourteen
percent
to
less
than
four
percent.
B
B
That
kind
of
policy
is
essential
for
being
able
to
go
forward,
but
also
ports
like
in
Detroit,
where
they
have
a
microloan
program.
Huntington
bank
put
up
five
million
dollars
to
make
sure
that
local
entrepreneurs
would
have
access
to
the
capital
and
the
networking
and
the
technical
support
that
they
needed
so
far
they
put
out
a
million
dollars
and
they've
been
able
to
preserve
or
create
236
jobs
and
they've
helped
some
companies
that
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
make
it
to
make
it.
B
But
we've
got
to
be
able
to
also
think
about
inclusionary
zoning
policies
to
make
sure
that
the
housing
remains
available.
We
as
a
nation
are
at
a
crucial
moment
you,
as
a
city
in
a
region
you're
at
a
crucial
moment.
I,
don't
know
how
many
other
chances
we're
going
to
have
to
get
it
right
in
America,
but
I
do
know
that
the
conversations
that
are
happening,
the
people
who
are
convening
the
policies
that
are
being
embraced,
the
wonderful
spirit
that
I'm
feeling
right
here
in
this
room
in
terms
of
commitment
to
inclusion.
B
That's
where
you
start
and
we
all
are
going
to
have
to
do
something
important
and
different
to
be
able
to
keep
going.
We
know
we
didn't
get
here
overnight,
we're
not
going
to
solve
the
problem
overnight.
It's
going
to
take
patience
and
persistence,
we
know
that
the
hurt
has
been
so
deep.
The
neglect
has
been
so
long.
Then,
if
there's
a
tendency
to
say
I
hear
you,
but
is
this
really
going
to
be
anything?
It's
going
to
be
something
if
we
all
stay
in
it
and
make
it
something?
B
We've
got
to
have
patience,
but
we
have
to
have
some
confidence
in
our
own
abilities
to
be
able
to
do
something
different.
We
have
to
measure
what
we're
doing
we
have
to
talk
about
what
we're
doing.
We
have
to
be
able
to
lift
up
of
what
we're
trying
to
do,
even
as
we
haven't
finished.
The
job
here
is
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
people
at
the
center
of
what
we're
doing,
because
in
the
end,
this
is
the
work
of
unlocking
the
promise
of
the
nation
by
unleashing
the
promising
us
all.
Thank
you.
C
Peace
and
good
morning,
how's
everybody
doing
come
on
y'all
know
me
come
on.
This
I
did
good
more
how's,
everybody
doing
we're
not.
You
know
this
is
a
conference,
but
it's
an
unconference
right.
We
don't
want
to
eat.
We
don't
want
to
just
be
so
tight
that
we
can't
kind
of
have
a
conversation.
So
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is
a
1988.
There
was
a
Bobby.
Brown
was
the
king
of
R&B
and
he
used
to
do
videos
and
he
used
to
had
this
thing
on
his
face.
C
Right
and
I've
never
had
one
on
before
today,
so
I
feel
like
Bobby
Brown
like
so,
and
he's
still
the
king
of
R&B,
no
matter
what
anyone
thinks
so
I'm
channeling
a
Bobby
Brown
today.
So
today's
conversation
for
me
is
about
a
journey
all
right.
It's
about
a
journey
from
one
place
to
another,
it's
about
a
journey
from
a
boy
to
a
man,
it's
about
a
journey
of
cities
and
how
do
cities
grow?
C
How
do
cities
change
and
how
those
cities
evolve,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I've
dedicated
my
life
to
that's
one
of
the
things
that
everyone
in
here
is
dedicated
their
lives
to
so
we're
going
to
have
a
conversation
and
they
were
going
to
get
to
a
challenge?
Okay,
so
you
see
the
picture
a
lot
of
people
queuing.
This
is
this
is
what's
Philadelphia
and
then
people
say
born
and
raised.
C
We
grew
up
close
to
each
other,
but
we
didn't
live
in
the
same
place.
So
this
is
the
view
I
saw
as
a
child.
Ok,
this
is
what
every
day
when
I
got
on
the
train
to
go
to
school.
This
is
what
I
saw
and
I
saw
the
wonder
of
downtown
in
the
city
and
what
the
city
represented
always
meant.
So
much
to
me
all
right.
C
My
experiences
in
the
experience
that
were
happening
in
my
neighborhood
were
a
little
different
than
maybe
in
other
neighborhoods,
but
it
always
made
me
think
about
the
possibilities
and
we're
going
to
come
back
to
the
possibilities
and
from
that
this
is
where
I
learned
how
cities
operate.
You
felt
the
city.
I
was
a
child,
so
I
just
dealt
with
whatever
the
city
gave
me
and
I
learned
a
lot
of
things
sudden
I
want
to
transition.
At
18
years
old
I
came
to
Pittsburgh,
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
and
Pittsburgh
is
where
I
came
to
know
myself.
C
Okay
Pittsburgh
is
where
I
came
to
learn
about
cities.
I
came
to
learn
about
the
other
side
of
Pennsylvania.
Now,
I
didn't
see
this
view.
When
I
first
came
in
I
saw
you
know
the
cathedral
and
tower
a
tower
being
tower
see,
so
it
didn't
look.
Look
quite
like
that
when
I
got
here
and
also
to
be
frank,
when
I
got
here,
it
was
a
different
town.
C
There
was
a
time
where
things
were
different.
There
was
a
time
where,
when
I
got
on
the
t,
people
looked
at
me.
There
was
a
time
where
you
can
catch
one
bus
to
monroeville
mall
right.
There
was
a
time
when
you
couldn't
go
in
certain
neighborhoods.
So
when
all
the
things
that
we're
experiencing
going
through,
we
do
have
to
remember
that
we
did
have
a
different
time
and
we're
in
a
good
time
we're
in
a
good
moment
we're
in
a
moment
of
change
all
right,
we're
in
a
moment
of
that
fifth
p
possibility.
C
C
So
a
couple
years
ago,
I
would
be
on
Facebook.
You
know
people
kind
of
get
into
long,
drawn-out
Facebook
fights.
So
what
I
started
to
do
was
just
say
three
things
and
I
would
not
say
anything
else
about
it.
Right,
I,
wouldn't
argue,
I
wouldn't
discuss
it.
I
just
would
say
it
and
I
could
get
it
out
the
way
and
what
I
found
what
people
started
to?
Listen.
People
started
to
respond
and
talk
about
various
things
around
economics,
Community,
Development
pop
culture.
C
Whatever
have
you
so
today,
I
want
to
talk
about
three
things,
and
hopefully
you
know
you
kind
of
get
something
out
of
it.
Some
folks
may
be
aware
of
it
and
some
folks
may
not
so,
let's
go
to
the
first
one.
There
is
always
of
there
there
and
there's
always
there
there,
and
particularly
around
marginalized
communities.
Okay,
there's
always
there
there
with
communities,
have
been
disinvested.
There
is
presence.
There
is
something
it
is
not
something
to
be
put
upon.
It
is
something
to
build
with.
C
There
is
a
difference
between
place
making
and
plays
growing
and
I
got
to
give
a
shout
out
to
my
friend
Calvin
Gladney
for
the
place
growing
one
I
decided
to
make
it
all
one
word.
So
that's
what
it
is.
One
word
now
plays
growing
in
third,
it's
more
than
place
it's
race
and
I'll
get
back
to
that
when
we
go
through
the
process,
so
number
one,
there's
always
there
there
in
our
in
our
development
in
cities
all
across
the
country.
C
We
hear
a
lot
about
what
it
means
for
place
and
how
cities
are
changing
and
how
neighbors
are
blighted,
how
neighborhoods
are
disengaged
and
we
use
words
that
are
almost
violent
in
their
nature.
We
use
words
that
get
come
close
to
a
ratio
all
right.
We
use
words
that
downplay
who
people
are
in
their
experience,
even
in
the
face
of
all
that
has
happened
in
cities
for
the
last
City
left
at
least
60
years.
So
one
thing
that
I
want
everyone
to
come
out
with.
There's
always
something
there.
There's
always
something
to
build
from.
C
It's
not
always
easy
to
connect
to
it.
It
may
cost
more
to
talk
about
it.
It
may
cost
more
to
engage
it,
but
what
you
actually
do
is
create
places
where
people
feel
comfortable
where
people
want
to
be,
and
it
provides
a
connection,
so
I'm
going
to
show
show
a
picture
all
right.
This
is
a
picture
of
the
larva
school
and
alarma
neighborhood.
Okay,
so
you
look
at
it
number
one
word:
it's
blighted,
it's
abandoned,
I,
see,
resilience,
I,
see,
self-awareness,
I,
see
the
fact
of
taking
really
bad
lemons
and
making
really
good
lemonade.
C
Okay,
I
see
the
fact
that
we
have
to
acknowledge
the
presence
of
what
communities
do
and
build
upon
the
in
order
to
create
places
that
attract
people
and
retain
people
okay.
So
this
is
just
an
example,
and
you
know
this
current
administration
on
the
module
administration
has
really
been
supportive
of
the
larmor
consensus
group
of
the
choice.
Neighborhood
process
and
you'll
see
a
lot
of
development.
C
How
we
look
at
places
and
make
it
equitable
for
all,
but
I
just
wanted
to
always
bring
us
back
to
when
you
see
one
thing,
you
can
also
see
something
else
so
number
two
there's
a
difference
between
place,
making
in
place
growing
place
making
is
the
rage.
We
had
creative
placemaking,
this
kind
of
place,
making
that
kind
of
place
making
you
hear
it
all
over.
What
I'm
going
to
submit
to
everyone
today
is
that
we
have
to
be
concerned
we're
growing
places
and
you
can't
grow
places
without
growing
people.
C
People,
energy
life-
it
asserts
that
you
do
something
to
people
not
with
people
in
a
search
said.
This
is
how
you
can
create
a
community
without
necessarily
engaging
that
place
to
be
a
part
of
it.
Now.
I
know
that
in
our
city,
we're
not
thinking
like
that.
I
know
another
cities
are
not
thinking
about
this,
but
this
is
what
we
must
get
away
from.
It
can
be
very
easy
to
go
into
a
place
and
identify
how
to
shift
it.
We
know
how
to
move
markets.
We
know
how
to
move
buildings.
C
We
know
how
to
fix
buildings.
We
know
how
to
do
that.
We
have
to
dedicate
ourselves
to
the
development
of
people
all
right
instead,
fastly
as
we
are
dedicated
to
the
development
of
buildings,
and
that
is
the
interlocking
between
people
in
place,
that's
so
important
to
me
and
so
important
to
many
of
you.
C
We
have
a
race
problem
and
whether
that
is
immigrants,
whether
you're
talking
about
refugee
population,
whether
you
talk
about
Latino
populations,
the
african-american
population,
and
then,
if
you
want
to
extend
it,
we
have
gender
problems
right.
We
have
these
disparities
that
we
can't
talk
away
by
just
talking
about
place.
C
So
you
see
over
thirty
percent
of
the
black
population
at
that
time
is
living
in
poverty,
it's
very
difficult
to
redo
neighborhoods.
If
thirty
percent
of
a
population
living
in
poverty,
we
have
to
worry
about
preservation,
we
have
to
create
affordable
housing.
We
have
to
do
inclusionary
zoning.
We
have
to
do
all
the
things
that
preserve,
but
we
have
to
create
pathways
of
opportunity
and
pathways
of
growth.
We
can't
preserve
our
way
out
of
this.
In
order
to
create
a
just
livable
city.
C
C
This
is
the
ratio
of
black
and
white
unemployment
in
the
city,
and
what
you'll
see
is
that
we're
over
2.5
to
one
again
unemployed
person
is
not
the
person
that's
going
to
be
able
to
buy
the
home
to
reinvest
in
the
home
equity
out
of
their
home.
So
when
we're
talking
about
this,
we
have
this
racial
disparity
that
we're
trying
to
resolve.
So
in
the
beginning,
I
showed
you
the
picture
that
I
had
a
Philadelphia
and
now
Pittsburgh
being
my
home,
adopted
home
second
home.
C
My
challenge
to
everyone
in
here
is
to
make
sure
that
every
child
in
every
neighborhood
all
90
neighborhoods
feels
that
50
of
possibility
every
day
they
wake
up.
They
have
that
same
feeling
of
wonder
no
matter.
They
live
in
North
few
heights,
carrick
beach
view
homewood,
Hazelwood,
squirrel
hill,
springhill,
no
matter
where
you
live
in
this
city,
we
have
to
rededicate
ourselves
and
EE.
You
have
to
double
down
on
the
reality
of
creating
the
possibilities
for
everyone
in
our
city.
Thank
you.
D
D
D
So,
if
I
take
a
picture,
myself
is
called
a
selfie
and
if
I
take
a
picture
you
was
that
called
we're
in
pittsburgh.
Ya,
Yin,
Zi
right,
ok,
are
very
good
word.
No,
so
Pittsburgh
America's,
most
liveable
or
most
livable
city
in
1985
I,
was
a
sophomore
at
the
University
of
Chicago,
and
an
announcement
was
made
that
rocked
the
nation.
Anybody
know
februari
27
1985.
D
Anybody
know
that
date.
That
was
the
date
that
Rand
McNally
places
rated
said
that
Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania
was
the
number
one
most
livable
place
in
America,
and
so
since
that
time
example,
the
economist
is
2014
unbelief
said
that
Pittsburgh's,
the
most
livable
city
on
the
mainland,
again
Conde
Nast,
the
travel
magazine,
said
that
Pittsburgh
was
one
of
the
top
places
to
go
in
2015.
D
This
is
craig
Pittsburgh
named
one
of
the
most
livable
cities
in
the
world
and
I'm
thinking
wait
a
minute
is
there
to
Pittsburgh's,
but
it's
it's
jen.
Since
1985
to
today,
pittsburgh
has
received
all
kinds
of
kudos
right,
most
affordable,
bikeable,
heiko,
livable
baseball
park.
The
baseball
park
is
actually
true,
stunning
videos.
All
of
these
things
were,
but
we've
also
had
a
series
of
studies
done
over
many
years,
but
even
there
recently,
the
regional
quality
of
life
survey
the
work
recently
done
by
neighborhood
allies,
innovation,
21
and
policy
length.
D
The
work
done
at
the
school
social
work,
where
I
am
professor
Pitts,
racial
demographics,
and
on
and
on
so
we
see
these
documents
that
tell
a
slightly
different
story
than
the
one
we
hear
in
mainstream
media
summed
up
in
many
ways.
Harold
Miller
says:
if
you
look
at
that
last
paragraph:
well,
first
of
all,
african-americans
are
being
left
behind
by
Pittsburgh
the
economy.
There
are
some
rankings
you
never
hear
about,
however,
because
they
aren't
statistics
that
we
can
be
proud
of.
D
They
show
that
tens
of
thousands
of
our
region's
minority
residents
are
not
sharing
in
the
region's
overall
economic
progress,
they're
worth
off
than
almost
any
other
major
region
in
the
country.
So
look
at
some.
Some
data
I
had
an
assignment
from
tony
norm
and
he
said:
I
was
gonna,
do
some
stuff
for
him,
so
I
gotta
do
that.
So,
first
of
all,
as
you
know,
our
region
is
the
least
diverse
in
the
nation.
You
see
on
the
far
right
side,
the
little
red
bar,
that's
pittsburgh
on
about
thirteen
percent
of
our
population
is
non-white.
D
This
is
a
map
of
our
segregation,
so
you
see
the
areas,
particularly
on
the
orient
yourself
there.
The
point
is
there
to
your
right,
my
right,
yola
and
then
you
see
that
area
on
the
east
end
is
black
little
area
down
there
and
claritin
is
white.
Black
and
the
rest
of
the
region
is
white
and
the
reason
it's
white
is
because
it's
white.
D
Majestic
just
talked
about
our
segregation,
but
also
the
intersection
between
our
segregation
and
our
poverty.
So
this
graphic
shows
you
that
sixty
percent
of
pittsburgh's
african-american
population
lives
in
neighborhoods
that
are
over
twenty
percent
poor.
That's
a
metric
that
we
use
the
sociologist
on
the
flip
side,
over
sixty
percent
of
our
white
population
lives
in
neighborhoods
that
are
non
poor,
so
we
have
residential
segregation.
We
have
poverty,
and
so
the
intersection
of
race
and
class
are
intricately
woven.
In
fact,
I
would
argue
that
race
causes
poverty
right.
D
We
often
talk
about
their
entangled
or
difficult
to
disentangle,
literally
one
cause
the
other.
So
this
is
a
drilling
down
with.
This
is
a
neighborhood
that
I
love,
homewood
Pennsylvania,
the
fascinating
part
about
this.
So
we've
talked
about
residential
segregation.
We
talked
about
poverty
and,
as
we
go
closer,
what
we'll
see
in
this
graphic,
the
yellow
areas
are
properties
owned
by
people
who
do
not
live
the
state
of
Pennsylvania.
D
The
teal
is
people
who
live
in
Pennsylvania
but
outside
of
Pittsburgh,
the
light
blue
of
people
who
live
in
the
city,
but
not
in
15,
20,
8
and
finally,
those
darker
areas
or
people
actually
live
in
the
neighborhood.
What
does
it
mean
when
a
neighborhood
is
not
owned
by
the
people
who
live
there?
I
was
talking
to
a
friend
of
mine
and
he
said
I'm
on
the
computer
right
now
and
I'm.
Looking
at
a
house
for
sale
across
the
street
from
my
house,
the
house
is
for
sale
for
twenty-five
hundred
dollars.
D
What
are
the
implications
for
that
when
you
live
in
the
neighborhood,
where
people
are
selling
your
property
in
another
country,
then
we
dig
more
deeply.
Many
of
you
will
recognize
this
street.
So
I
took
this
picture
and
what
do
you
see
there
right
blight
in
all
of
its
glory?
It's
fascinating,
however.
I
turned
around
took
a
picture
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
You
see
this
from
this
to
this
literally
across
the
street.
Anybody
know
the
distinction.
D
I'll
tell
you
this:
this
piece
of
property
has
been
owned
by
people
California
New,
York,
you're,
all
over
the
globe.
Literally
this
piece
of
property
owned
by
african-american
developer,
both
properties
of
section
8,
I'm
sure
they
were
finished
on
the
same
day
of
the
year
in
1910
when
they
were
built,
but
the
distinction
is
local
ownership
and
people
who
care
about
the
property
and
the
people
who
live
in
those
houses.
D
Infant
mortality
right.
This
is
sort
of
the
key
metric
of
the
well-being
of
a
country.
How
do
your
babies,
your
honors,
do
pittsburgh
overlook
Allegheny,
County?
Actually,
the
bottom
in
the
red,
Allegheny
County's
infant
mortality
rate
is
about
almost
14.
Infants
died
per
thousand
births.
African-Americans
rate
is,
in
fact
almost
three
times
the
white
rate
of
4.75
and
just
for
a
point
of
comparison,
Jamaica's
infant
mortality
rate
is
actually
lower
than
Pittsburgh's
african-american
infant
mortality
rate.
D
Let's
keep
going
poverty
among
our
children.
These
are
the
five
year
olds,
Pittsburgh's
children,
sixty-two
percent
of
them
live
below
the
poverty
line,
even
more
striking
that
less
than
fifteen
percent
of
Pittsburgh's
white
population,
their
five
year
olds,
live
below
poverty.
So
we
literally
have
these
two
worlds,
so
when
people
really
act
like
they
don't
understand
what
we
talked
about
with
regard
to
these
racial
disparities,
I
actually
believe
they
don't.
So
when
you
look
at
the
residential
segregation
we're
living
in
different
worlds,
you
look
at
the
differences
in
poverty.
D
The
Pittsburgh
promise
anybody
know
the
promise
I
want
to
show
you
some
amazing
data.
So
these
are
our
schools
right.
These
are
our
6
12
and
our
twelve
high-schools.
So
you
have
kappa
altered
eyesight
XO
for
downtime
alliance,
and
this
is
the
persona
of
the
kids
who
are
free,
reduced
lunch
or
our
poverty
metric
right.
So
thirty-eight
percent
of
the
kids
to
go
to
kappa
live
a
little
poverty
plate
and
my
lines
is
eighty-eight
percent.
D
Now
we
have
a
little
thing
here
in
Pittsburgh
that
everybody
supports
called
the
Pittsburgh
promise
right.
I'm,
a
head
start
graduate
class
of
67
anybody
in
67,
Wow
everybody.
Here's
rich
anyway,
head
started
this
program
for
poor
kids,
so
I'm
a
head
start
graduate.
So
the
idea
that
you
would
have
a
scholarship
to
be
able
to
attend
any
school
in
the
state
of
Pennsylvania
from
CMU
pit
Haverford
bryn
mawr
pin
the
Art
Institute
the
trade
institute
game
changer
game
changer.
Would
you
agree?
D
The
problem
is
the
kids
who
attend
our
schools,
who
are
poor,
are
also
the
children
who
at
least
likely
to
be
eligible
to
receive
the
Pittsburgh
promise.
Now
see
those
of
you
who
have
young
children,
scribbling
stuff
down
and
all
that
that's
not
cool
right,
Kappa.
Anybody
know
where
capital
start
yeah
at
homewood
right,
fascinating
story
about
kappa.
So
I
was
talking
to
this
guy
and
he
tells
me
the
secret
right.
D
You
know
how,
when
people
are
telling
you
secret
to
kind
of
look
around
so
he
says
to
me:
look
if
your
kid
doesn't
have
any
talent
and
you
want
them
to
go
to
Kappa
stage
crew
stage.
Crew
I
was
like
what
he's
like
stage.
Crew
got
a
kid
with
no
talent,
you
want
to
go
to
Kappa
stage.
Crew,
I,
just
told
everybody.
So
now
you
know
stage
crew
right.
But
what
does
this
mean
when
our
children,
who
are
least
likely
to
succeed?
Oh
wait?
I
got
one
more
slide.
The
correlation
is
a
point.
Minus
point.
D
D
This
picture
reminds
me
of
an
experience.
I
had
was
at
the
YMCA
in
homewood
and
was
preparing
for
a
meeting,
and
so
the
kids
were
running
around
it
was
their
summer
program.
Kids
were
running
around
and
I'm
standing
there,
it's
kind
of
watching
and
laughing,
and
so
the
counselor
says
to
the
kids:
hey
kids
get
in
line.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Thirty
percent
difference
and
saying
that
there's
a
positive
place
to
be
related
to
that
in
the
regional
survey,
they
asked
people
the
likelihood
that
they'll
be
in
the
region
in
five
years,
almost
a
little
bit
more
than
a
quarter
of
our
african-american
population
said
that
they
were
expecting
not
be
in
the
region
in
preparation
for
this
stumbled
across
the
statistic
in
the
inflection
point
report
that
the
allegation
conferences
did,
ten
percent
of
african-americans
coming
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
have
a
bachelor's
degree.
Fourteen
percent
of
the
people
leaving
have
a
bachelor's
degree
right.
D
So
you
have
a
brain
drain.
You
have
a
leakage,
and
so,
despite
the
fact
that
there's
going
to
be
literally
hundreds
of
thousands
of
jobs
available,
Pittsburgh
is
not
a
place
where
african-americans
want
to
stay.
I
stumbled
across
1839
Janeiro
Solomon's
are
online
mag
and
there's
a
section
in
there
called
why
Pittsburgh
and
which
African
Americans
are
talking
about
their
experience
in
Pittsburgh
and
it's
interesting
this
issue.
There
were
three
articles
in
there.
If
you
look
at
the
bottom,
why
I'm
leaving
Pittsburgh
it's
an
uphill,
constant,
uphill
battle?
D
Why
stay
sustaining
artists
life
in
Pittsburgh
and
wine,
leaving
fighting
to
exist
to
the
3
2
360?
Six
percent
of
the
articles
we're
talking
about
why
people
wanted
to
leave.
Well,
unlike
the
folks
who
are
having
this
conversation,
I
came
back
to
Pittsburgh.
So
again,
I
was
born
in
pittsburgh
in
1965
left
in
1983
promising
to
never
return
and
it's
interesting.
For
my
parents
generation
success
was
literally
the
ability
to
get
your
kid
up
and
out
of
Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania.
D
So
the
question
I
asked
myself
when
I
stumbled
across
this
article
is:
why
did
I
come
back,
but
when
I
came
back
to
Pittsburgh
on
those
visits
between
college
graduate
school,
a
tenured
professorship
at
the
University
of
Michigan
I
came
back,
but
I
saw
opportunity
and
I
saw
people
who
love
this
city
as
much
as
I
do
so.
I
came
back
and
then
coming
back
been
able
to
do
a
bunch
of
fun
stuff.
So
we
started
a
program
at
Westinghouse
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh.
D
We
have
college
in
high
school,
so
we
have
15
young
people
who
are
actually
duly
enrolled,
their
students
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
this
semester
taking
an
introduction
to
social
work.
Only
the
introduction
to
social
justice
and
our
kids
in
homewood
are
students
at
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
They'll
have
a
transcript
and
three
credits
at
the
end
of
the
semester
end
of
the
year.
That's
amazing.
Only
in
Pittsburgh
a.
D
Few
years
ago,
I
helped
to
start
a
nonprofit
called
the
home
with
Children's
Village.
Inspired
by
my
friend,
Jeffrey
Canada's
work
in
Harlem.
We
have
been
working
despite
the
fact
that
folks
have
now
discovered
community
schools.
We've
been
doing
community
schools
in
homewood
now
for
about
six
years
and
in
the
two
schools
in
which
we
work
at
the
elementary
level.
D
Another
organization
with
his
I'm
affiliated
operation,
better
block,
literally
going
door-to-door
multiple
times
every
door
engaging
the
community
in
its
own
development.
I
have
a
phrase:
I
call
with
intra
fication
when
the
people
who
live
someplace
are
involved
in
its
transfer
mation,
and
so
we
actually
have
a
database
with
every
property.
D
Every
parcel
in
homewood
is
listed
in
our
database
and
we
can
tell
you
the
status
of
ownership,
tax
status
who
lives
there
and
other
details
about
the
property,
and
now
our
next
wave
of
data
collection
were
actually
interviewing
the
people
in
the
homes
and
we
have
a
complete
data
set
on
every
piece
of
property.
We're
helping
people
save
their
homes.
One
family
member,
the
grandmother,
I
believe,
was
died.
D
The
property
was
then
in
the
hands
of
25
different
family
members,
operation,
better
block
help
get
those
family
members
to
sign
the
paperwork,
and
so
that
person
actually
owns
at
home.
A
woman
had
been
victimized
by
a
predatory
lender,
a
balloon
loan.
She
didn't
understand
what
was
going
to
happen.
Operation,
better
walk
works
with
her
to
get
an
attorney
to
get
that
issue
resolved
and
so
we're
actively
involved
on
the
ground.
Where
else
can
that
happen,
when
you
can
combine
data
relationships
and
the
engagement
of
attorneys
to
save
someone's
home?
D
That's
the
kind
of
stuff
that
happens
only
in
Pittsburgh
I,
don't
know
if
you
saw
the
PG
for
the
last
two
days
front
page
above
the
fold
been
talking
about
this
work
going
on
in
India
and
in
homewood,
my
colleagues
in
the
business
school
and
then
engineering
we
have
next
to
our
building
in
homewood.
Have
this
off-grid
greenhouse
we're
capturing
over
1,700
gallons
of
water,
we're
teaching
our
kids.
Most
importantly,
the
part
I,
like
you,
see
our
babies
in
the
greenhouse
or
the
bio
shelter
talking
about
wastewater
management.
D
Talking
about
alternative
energy
where
else
other
than
Pittsburgh
in
a
neighborhood
that
many
people
think
of
deprived.
Can
you
have
children
when
they
went
on
a
field
trip
recently
and
the
guy
was
asking
them
about?
Did
they
know
what
a
rain
barrel
was
and
the
response
is?
Do
you
know
what
a
bio
shelter
is?
D
2009
is
anybody,
say
2009
2000-2009,
hopefully
a
matter
of
fact,
I
don't
know
if
I
can
say
this,
but
lord
willing,
the
lord
willing
in
November
of
this
year,
this
coffee
house
is
going
to
open,
will
be
Pittsburgh's.
First
completely
cashless
coffee
house,
located
in
Homewood
you'll,
be
able
to
flip
open
your
laptop
Wi-Fi
coffee,
and
you
can
friend
me
to
coffee,
soup,
salad,
sandwiches
and
it
will
undoubtedly
be
Pittsburgh's
most
diverse
coffeehouse.
Where
else
can
you
do
that?
The
Pittsburgh
next
steps
real
quick,
decide
to
make
Pittsburgh
most
livable
for
all
I
argue.
D
This
is
the
most
important
conversation
right
now
that
I've
had
a
up
to
this
point.
It
becomes
a
decision
you
see
when
we
can
have
cars
driving
around
with
nobody
driving
them
when
we
can
take
body
parts
out
of
people
and
put
another
body
part
in
them
when
we
can
take
diseases
and
cure
them,
I'm
convinced
that
we
can
transform
neighborhoods,
but
it
begins
with
the
decision.
Second
collaboration
is
correct.
We
have
an
amazing
funding
community.
D
We
also
have
to
have
the
other
parts
of
our
community
decide
that
we're
going
to
work
together
until
we
get
this
done
and
the
equity
conversation
that
we
were
having
it's
critically
important.
It's
just
like.
If
you
have
children,
you
got
four
kids
like
in
my
case
for
kids,
one
of
my
children.
Her
teeth
were
all
over
her
mouth.
We
got
her
braces
because
she
needed
them,
but
I
didn't
feel
like
I
owed,
my
other
children,
six
thousand
dollars
because
they
didn't
get
braces
right.
You
meet
the
needs
of
folks
as
needed.
D
D
Finally,
focus
look:
there's
four
fundamentals
that
my
father
and
my
grandfather
taught
me:
education,
employment,
entrepreneurship
and
real
estate
ownership,
the
fundamentals
that
have
worked
for
generations
in
this
country
that
unfortunately,
so
many
of
us
have
been
denied.
Those
are
the
fundamentals.
My
grandfather
told
me
that
he
was.
We
worked
in
the
u.s.
steel,
in
fact,
for
42
years,
and
his
supervisor
told
him
he
said
Ralph.
If
you
were
white
I
could
make
you
a
foreman.
D
But
since
you're
not
right
because
an
african-american
cannot
be
a
boss
for
a
white
guy,
you
continue
to
put
coal
in
a
hot
furnace
for
42
years,
but
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
Pittsburgh
is
a
different
place
today
and
it
can
be
a
better
place.
But
if
we
focus
on
the
fundamentals
we
can
get
this
done.
So
my
vision
is
in
20
26
10
years
from
now,
when
we're
having
in
p4
or
p5
I-
guess
it
is
you'll,
say
Pittsburgh
region
recognized
again
is
most
livable
for
all
I'm
John
Wallace,
hey
pjc
attendees.
