Artists of color say Pittsburgh has "perfected racism." What would real progress look like?
On paper, Pittsburgh looks like a vibrant arts city. It also looks like a city with serious racial inequities. Artists of color say it's both. They likewise say this doesn't need to be the case. The city's institutions adopted sweeping diversity, equity, and inclusion policies following the 2018 killing of Antwon Rose Jr., a scathing 2019 report detailing a deadly gulf in pre- and postnatal health outcomes for Pittsburgh's Black women, and the 2020 murder of George Floyd. Sometimes rounded out with accessibility and social justice policies, these formed the many acronyms now often labeled (as in this article) "DEI." As with critical race theory (CRT) and LGBTQ rights issues, this acronym has recently been co-opted as a racist dog whistle by many on the right, but facilitators and supporters of DEI work say it's still desperately needed.
