We’re officially in the second half of 2019 (editor’s note: HOW?!), so take some time this week to look back and ahead.
Looking back, there’s a seminar about the Vietnam War, a lecture on the Cliftonville Mine Riot, and a chance to learn about Pittsburgh’s air quality history.
Gazing into the future, be inspired by self-made leaders, weigh in on the Garden Theater Block developments, and experience the transcendence of nature.
Here’s what else is on tap for the next seven days.
