PITTSBURGH, Jan. 8 -- The University of Pittsburgh's Black Action Society will feature "Harlem Renaissance," a play portraying African-American History in the 1920s, in celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday on Thursday, Jan. 15, at 8 p.m. in the William Pitt Union Assembly Room.
The play, which is free and open to the public, traces the development of black cultural awareness and black nationalism after World War I.
