Pittsburgh and the Great Migration: Black Mobility and the Automobile

As a Publication Assistant and a Research Assistant for the Frick Pittsburgh, I researched and obtained photography credits for the Pittsburgh and the Great Migration Exhibit which opened on May 6, 2023 in the Car and Carriage Museum. In addition, I created a timeline of both known and obscure African American events that coincided with the first and second waves of the Great Migration from 1915-1955, which is a feature part of the exhibit. I also served as a proofreader and oversaw due dates for the accompanying museum catalog entitled Pittsburgh and the Great Migration: Black Mobility and the Automobile.

The Frick Pittsburgh: Clayton Reinterpretation

As the inaugural Chip Burke Family Research Fellow for the Frick Pittsburgh, I researched the lives of African Americans who lived in Pittsburgh during the Gilded Age. This research aided in the re-imagination of Clayton Mansion to include a more inclusive story of the men and women living outside the grandeur of families such as the Fricks.
