NEW LIGHT

With the help of my teacher, Mrs. Fossum, I have found a basis for my Grad Porject.

Now the goal of my project is too eventually propose that not only more of the African-American History from the Pittsburgh area be added to the school history curriculum. I would like this to happen because you can’t just tell someone a building was important, you have to tell them why. Like for instance, The National Negro Opera House was the First permanent African-American Opera company in the Area if not the entire United States. I would use this opportunity to find ways to gain support for the YPA’s preservation and restoration efforts as a continuation of my internship.

The end product of my project will be a video. The video will contain interviews (with people who where there to see these sites in their glory days), actual footage of the sites (I might also try to get older footage of the sites), elaboration on the sites significance, and an update on the current status of the site.
