Annual Queen’s Luncheon Photo Review

Posted on December 3, 2011 by TheSoulPitt.com

by Donna Baxter

I had a great time at the Harriet Tubman Guild’s Annual Queen’s Luncheon on Saturday Dec 3, 2011 at the Churchhill Valley Country Club featuring a fashion show by A Woman’s Touch Fashions that was moderated by Debbie Norrell. A full house filled the banquet hall and enjoyed a wonderful meal, great entertainment, jazz music and a variety of vendors. I learned about the history of the organization and witnessed the crowning of the new queen. The theme of this event was “Continuing to Show Our Love of Community Through Service”. The youth from Mt. Ararat Dance Ensemble – The Shift Movement did an excellent job and The Honorable Kimberly Clark kept the event moving as the Mistress of Ceremony. The luncheon is a major fundraiser which supports the Harriet Tubman Terrace, a senior residence owned by the Harriet Tubman Guild, Inc. CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

Feel Like Going On: a collective of Black photographers showcasing Pittsburgh

Posted on November 22, 2011 by TheSoulPitt.com

On Monday, Nov. 21 2011, a group of African American photographers launched a partnership with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: a photography blog aimed at providing more positive, fuller images of African American life in Pittsburgh.

It is rooted in a community project that began six years ago to willfully counter some of the all-too-often negative portrayals of African American people in the local mainstream media. The blog was inspired by the work of Charles “Teenie” Harris, an NABJ Hall of Fame honoree.

Through these images, our intent is to inspire others, promote the work, careers and professional development of participating photographers.

The African-American Heritage Day Parade Review

Posted on October 1, 2011 by TheSoulPitt.com

In the middle of the rain and the cold, a significant crowd still came out to support the African-American Heritage Day parade. Drill teams to local non-profits, car clubs to gospel groups all marched down from the old civic arena to the new August Wilson Center perfoming, giving out promotional items and in Soul Pitt’s case we gave out black and gold beads! Yes, by the time it was over, we were drenched in rain water, freezing cold, tired and nearly expired, but it was all worth it in the end to celebrate African-American culture in our region! Make plans for next year…and yes, it still will take place rain or shine.
PS – Hats off to the parade planning committee and others involved each year to help make this event a success!
