PublicSource special project: “Pittsburgh’s religious landscape is fragmented. Rarely do people’s social groups reflect the city’s religious diversity. And rarely do religious communities reflect the city’s racial, economic or political diversity. Often, racial and religious segregation go hand in hand. This didn’t happen by accident. Immigration and the Great Migration, industrialization and class divides, rivers and hills all shaped where, when and how Pittsburghers worship. “Faith, Race, Place” confronts this past as a means of understanding the religious present.”
I produced many of the photos as well as video content for this project in collaboration with reporter Chris Hedlin.
