One of my major concerns is that AWC did not deteriorate over night. It had to be an ongoing process.
Where were these concerned politicians, Allegheny County’s King Richard, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Kane and the newly elected Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto?
If Dollar Saving Bank has the legal authority to foreclose next month, why are the three of them posturing as possible saviors? Is it because all three are supporting the same candidate for governor, and in November they can run ads declaring that the Black voters should remember they attempted to save the August Wilson Center?
The Black communities should be insisting that the same politicians that are allegedly concerned about the August Wilson Center should demonstrate the same concern about the absence of Black faces working on the billion dollars of construction ongoing in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. Every speech they make they give out statistics 27 percent, 35 percent, 40 percent, but never put names to these fictitious statistics.
