Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson spent his childhood in Pittburgh's Hill District and that environment directly influenced the settings of some of his best-known plays. After years of rennovations and a groundswell of support, Wilson's childhood home opened its doors last weekend as a new community center that will offer artist residencies. In 2018, the National Trust's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund provided a grant to conduct interpretive planning and restoration work for the two bedroom apartment. Special guests at the grand opening event included Denzel Washington and Wilson’s wife Costanza Romero Wilson.
