Join us to Celebrate Our

Cultural Mosaic

Many of us – our parents, grandparents or great grand-

parents – came from another country – perhaps from

Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, or Latin

America. Or maybe you are a refugee from one of

these areas.

Ten of your neighbors, both long-time residents and

newcomers, have created their own short video

accounts about immigration to the Pittsburgh area.

Share these experiences with them and others in our

community. Join in a discussion about what it was like

a generation ago and what it is like now to become

uprooted and start a new life.

Enjoy food from different cultures, music and dance,

and learn more about the mosaic of cultures that

makes up our community.

Two celebrations will be held in the South Hills.
