DID YOU KNOW? The Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit started in 1996 as a direct response to the senseless murder of 31-year-old Jonny Gammage. Like many other unarmed Black men before him and to date, Gammage was a victim of police brutality. Today, we not only work to shed light on these issues, but to also ensure community has a place to thrive.
