Social

๐ŸŒนThe Hill CDC joins the Pittsburgh community in remembering Nancy D. Washington, a respected educator, philanthropist, and community leader whose dedication to service left a lasting impact on our city.

Throughout her life, Washington championed education, diversity, and opportunities for African Americans. She served in several leadership roles at the University of Pittsburgh, helped establish the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, and supported numerous organizations dedicated to uplifting Pittsburgh communities.

As a lifetime member of the Pittsburgh Branch NAACP and Co-Chair of its recent annual dinner, Washington demonstrated an unwavering commitment to community service and advocacy.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. Her leadership, generosity, and legacy of service will continue to inspire generations to come.
