For two centuries. Pittsburgh has embodied the very best of the American spirit. Waves of immigrants. the tired. poor. and huddled masses from distant lands. as well as Americans from other parts of this country. found opportunity in Pittsburgh for themselves and their descendants. and the neighborhoods they settled still reflect that diversity. Together. these individuals built a city out of coal. steel. and hard. honest work that epitomized the industrial character of our Nation. And while the vast furnaces that once lined the three rivers are a shadow of their past. the perseverance of Pittsburgh citizens have allowed the city to become a world leader in medicine. education. and technology. with worldclass universities. hospitals. and research centers.
