The Hill District

- During the “Great Migration,” many black people came from the south to Pittsburgh, looking for work, but found competition with white immigrants also seeking work. This influx of people created a massive housing crisis. 
- The Hill District became a massive hub for black culture, including jazz, bars, local businesses. It was at the forefront of growing black communities in the country
- In the 50s, in an effort to revitalize the city, the Civic Arena began its construction in the Hill District. Construction displaced over 8,000 residents and over 400 businesses. 
- The once vibrant cultural hub was now turned into a run-down, vacant neighborhood, with an under-educated and under-employed community
- Recently, deals with the Penguins have slated the Lower Hill District for redevelopment in an effort to “revitalize” the area, but it’s uncertain how the development will play out and its effects.
