Reading of Molly’s Hammer @ Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Part 1
In 1980, Molly Rush, a Pittsburgh housewife and mother of six, walked into a G.E. plant in King of Prussia, PA and took a hammer to the nosecone of a nuclear warhead in protest of the buildup of our nuclear arsenal. She and her fellow activists, The Plowshares 8 went to trial and spent time in prison, and the world was pulled back from the brink of nuclear annihilation for the time being. Molly’s Hammer is the fictionalized play of these events told through the lens of Molly’s marriage and the competing narratives of Molly and her husband Bill, a working class pipe draftsman whose only goal is to stop his wife from sacrificing herself to save the world. The play is inspired by the non-fiction account Hammer of Justice, by Liane Ellison Norman.
Tammy Ryan’s award winning plays have been produced across the country and internationally. She won the 2012 Francesca Primus Prize awarded by the American Theater Critics Association for her play Lost Boy Found in Whole Foods and in 2015 two of her plays, Tar Beach and Molly’s Hammer were both nominated for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, North America
Pittsburgh is the seat of Allegheny County and with a population of 307,484 is the second-largest city in the U.S. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. With a metropolitan CSA population of 2,661,369 it is the largest in both the Ohio Valley and Appalachia and the 22nd-largest in the U.S. Pittsburgh is known as both the Steel City for its more than 300 related businesses and the City of Bridges for its world record 446 bridges. The city also features 29 skyscrapers, two inclined railways, a pre-revolutionary fortification, and the source of the Ohio at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny. This vital link of the Atlantic coast and the Mid-west cuts through the mineral-rich Alleghenies and made the Pittsburgh area coveted by the French and British empires, Virginia, Whiskey Rebels, Civil War raiders and media networks. Legendary for its steel, Pittsburgh also led innovations and industries in aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, appliances, sports, transport, computing, retail, autos and electronics. This creative wealth placed Pittsburgh third (after New York City and Chicago) in corporate headquarter jobs for much of the 20th century, second only to New York in bank assets with more stockholders per capital than any other U.S. city. America's 1980s shift from heavy industry to a service economy laid-off millions from the area's sprawling steel mills and electronics/appliances factories. The diaspora of blue collar workers was joined by thousands of white collar employees when multi-billion dollar corporate raids relocated the longtime Pittsburgh-based world headquarters of Gulf Oil, Sunbeam, Rockwell and Westinghouse. This status as a world industrial and banking center, its melting pot of industrial immigrant workers, and top 10 rank among the largest cities in the U.S. until 1950 and metros until 1980 has left the region with a plethora of internationally-regarded museums, medical centers, parks, research infrastructure, libraries and a vibrantly diverse cultural district. These legacies have helped Pittsburgh win first place as America's most livable city by Places Rated Almanac, Forbes, and The Economist while inspiring National Geographic and Today to name the city a top world destination. More tangibly, the area has added 3,304 hotel rooms since 2004 and boasts higher occupancy than 11 comparable cities such as Philadelphia and Baltimore. Google, Intel and Apple are among 1,600 tech firms generating $10.8 billion in annual Pittsburgh payrolls. Since the 1980s the city has also served as national headquarters for both federal cyber defense and robotics. The area boasts 31 non-profit universities and colleges including seven venerable universities in the city, with the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon as national leaders in R&D expenditures spurring multiple startups annually. The nation's fifth-largest bank, 9 Fortune 500s and six of the top 300 US law firms make their global headquarters in the Pittsburgh area, while RAND, BNYMellon, Nova Chemicals, Bayer, FedEx and GSK have large regional bases that helped Pittsburgh become the sixth best metro for U.S. job growth despite the global recession. Area retail and housing have also grown despite the subprime crisis with the multi-million dollar SouthSide Works, Bakery Square, and Washington's Landing repurposing former industrial sites. Pittsburgh is a leader in LEED technology, with 60 total and 10 of the world's first green buildings, including downtown's convention center, even as Shell and Chevron have invested billions in the area's energy renaissance with Marcellus shale. A renaissance of Pittsburgh's 115 year old film industry that boasts the world's first movie theater has grown from the long running 3R Film Festival to an influx of major productions including Disney and Paramount offices with the largest sound stage outside Los Angeles and New York. According to the United States Census Bureau, Pittsburgh has a total area of 58.3 square miles (151 km2), of which 55.6 square miles (144 km2) is land and 2.8 square miles (7.3 km2) (or 4.75%) is water.

Elliott Erwitt: Pittsburgh 1950
In 1950 Elliott Erwitt, then just twenty-two years old, set out to capture Pittsburgh’s transformation from an industrial city into a modern metropolis. Commissioned by Roy Stryker, the mastermind behind the large-scale documentary photography projects launched by the US government during the Great Depression, Erwitt shot hundreds of frames. His images recorded the city’s communities against the backdrop of urban change, highlighting his quiet observations with the playful wit that has defined his style for over five decades. After only four months, Erwitt was drafted into the army and sent to Germany, leaving his negatives behind in Stryker’s Pittsburgh Photographic Library. The negatives remained at the Pennsylvania Department of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for decades. This exhibition, organized by Assistant Curator Claartje van Dijk in association with the photographer, will present these images in the United States for the first time.

Medieval America Episode 17: Pennsylvania

In this video I make seven stops in Pennsylvania and I cover the whole state from the eastern part around Philadelphia to the far western part near Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania has a whole lot of medieval buildings and structures and much of it was financed by the coal, railroad and the Iron/Steel industries.
The seven things we look at are:
The Anthracite Museum near Scranton
The Scranton Iron Furnaces
Grey Towers Castle in Milford
Bryn Athyn Cathedral (Gothic Style Cathedral)
Fonthill Castle in Doylestown
Carnegie Library in Braddock
Buhl Mansion in Sharon
As a bonus we also take a sneak peek at a project inspired by the Anthracite museum. It is a horizontal layout dungeon and gaming project I call “The Anthracite Dungeon”. That video project is coming up next.
The ending footage of this video is a drive through part of Zion National Park in Utah. That will be an upcoming video in this series
About Medieval America the series
This is a series of videos where you travel along with Will as he journeys all across America in search of medieval things like Castles, Blacksmiths, Meaderies, Museums, Stone Masons and much more. You can see the web version with lots more resources right here:
Why? Because I am going to be building a castle and this trip is partially to do research on how others have done it.
