Beyond Adversity

An educator from the Senator John Heinz History Center will present a lesson from their “Beyond Adversity” theme, which highlights the history and contributions of African Americans to Western Pennsylvania. 

This talk will focus on two extraordinary 19th century lives – Charles Garlick and Martin Delany. Both men experienced adversity yet took the initiative to seek better lives for themselves as well as fighting for the liberty of others. Come learn about the world they lived in and how each man managed to respond to the difficult choices facing them.
