As an integral stop on the Underground Railroad, many enslaved people traveled through Pittsburgh on their way further North, and many still decided to stay. During the Great Migration of the early 20th century, Pittsburgh was again a main destination for African Americans from the rural South; approximately 95% of these men became steelworkers. There was never one centralized neighborhood where a majority of the Black population lived, but Jim Crow discrimination was still rampant, even in a city such as Pittsburgh. Photographs captured by famed Pittsburgh photographer Charles "Teenie" Harris show the candid experiences of residents, including the achievements and celebrations of people struggling in adversity and finding happiness in their families and community."--|cProvided by Freading. 588 0 Publisher metadata. 650 0 African Americans|zPennsylvania|zPittsburgh|xHistory |vPictorial works. 650 0 African Americans|zPennsylvania|zPittsburgh|xSocial life and customs|vPictorial works. 650 0 African Americans|zPennsylvania|zPittsburgh|vBiography |vPictorial works. 650 7 HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)|2bisacsh 651 0 Pittsburgh (Pa.)|xHistory|vPictorial works. 651 0 Pittsburgh (Pa.)|xRace relations|vPictorial works. 651 0 Pittsburgh (Pa.)|vBiography|vPictorial works. 655 0 Electronic books. 710 2 Carnegie Museum of Art. 730 0 Pittsburgh courier.830 \0|aBlack America series. 914 frd00039585
