With no holiday this month, here’s another August idea

Alone among the months of the year, August has no landmark national holiday to celebrate.

Lucky for us Pittsburghers, we have another August to celebrate, and we don’t need a day or month to do so: August Wilson. He’s our foremost playwright, and a national treasure, so how about turning your attention to him and his works before September beckons?

Some ideas to celebrate “our” August:

• Visit the August Wilson African American Cultural Center downtown.

• Check out his boyhood home, recently opened to the public.

• Learn about his works.

• Enjoy some fun facts.

That’s our story. What’s yours? Share by writing our editor.
