The city of Pittsburgh has produced many amazing heroes and places. We at the Sabira Cole Film Festival are honoring those legends in as many ways as possible. This year we are honoring their legacies through the"Hometown Hero" Film Award and to celebrate Juneteenth we created the Black Pittsburgh's Hall of Fame!
