I
had the pleasure of visiting a digital skills class with students in
the Builders Guild of Western PA's [link 4] Introduction to the
Construction Trades Pre-apprenticeship Program this week. This, and
other adult education classroom work in the Program, is the result of
a collaboration between Literacy Pittsburgh [link 5] and the Builder's
Guild to ensure students have the math, reading, and technical skills
they need to succeed in the apprenticeship program they eventually
choose. Thank you to Literacy Pittsburgh and the Builders Guild of
Western PA for building the careers that build our region!

I
had the best time celebrating the brand-new addition to Hampton High
School [link 6] last night. The Library Media Center and its new
innovative, collaborative spaces along with the cafe are great places
for students to learn and grow. Congratulations to the educators, the
school board members, administrators, contractors, and students who
made this addition possible.

*Black
History Month**

This week for Black History Month we are featuring
two figures connected with the famous Pittsburgh Crawfords baseball
team!

*Gus
Greenlee*

Did you know that one of the only Black-built and
Black-owned Major League Baseball fields in the United States was here
in Pittsburgh? Greenlee Field, home of the Pittsburgh Crawfords,
[link
8]was built in 1931 and opened in 1932. It was financed by team owner,
and Negro National League founder, Gus Greenlee [link 9]. Greenlee
owned the Crawford Grill and was a known numbers runner, racketeer,
and neighborhood philanthropist.

The first game at Greenlee Field
featured future Hall of Famers Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson. The
stadium was razed following the 1938 season after Greenlee sold the
team and left baseball.

*Teenie
Harris*

Many Pittsburghers know and love the works of Teenie "One
Shot" Harris, but did you know that he played shortstop for the
Pittsburgh Crawfords [link 10] in 1926 and 1927, before he became a
noted photographer of Negro League Baseball?

The Teenie Harris
archive of over 70,000 negatives has been cataloged and digitized, so
you can see his prolific work detailing Black life in Pittsburgh and
America on permanent display at the
[link 11]Teenie Harris Archive -
Carnegie Museum of Art (cmoa.org) [link 12]



*Black-Owned
Businesses in Pittsburgh*

Gus Greenlee and Teenie Harris were
inspiring entrepreneurs.
If you want to support today's Black-owned
Pittsburgh businesses take a look at the directory at Cocoapreneur
[link 13]. Cocoapreneur also provides support to businesses through
advertising, marketing, and consulting. You can also follow
BlackOwnedPGH [link 14] on Instagram for business spotlights and

Those related to a person suffering from these diseases are also
