MAKING

Time is running out for visitors to examine this pivotal year as part of the Senator John Heinz History Center’s new exhibition, 1968: The Year That Rocked America, presented by UPMC Health Plan. The 8,000 square foot traveling exhibition from the Minnesota History Center closes on May 12.

1968: The Year That Rocked America takes visitors on a journey through the peak of the Vietnam War, assertions of Black Power at the Olympic Games, the national launch of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” stardom for musicians Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

Exhibition highlights include:• The original set and several

puppets from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” on display for the first time outside of the WQED studios.

• A 20-foot Bell UH-1H “Huey” helicopter used in the Vietnam War, the largest item ever displayed inside a History Center exhibition.

• Video footage from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s last public speech and items from King’s funeral at Ebenezer Baptist Church.

• Apollo 8 mission artifacts on loan from the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum, along with a life-size 15-foot replica of the lunar module.

• The torch from the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and a game-used football from Super Bowl II.

The year 1968 represented a watershed in American history, a turning point for the nation and its people. From assassinations and conflicts, pop culture and free love, civil rights and women’s rights, the convergence of events in 1968 sent shockwaves across the country, including right here in Western Pa.

The Pittsburgh Pipers joined the fledgling American Basketball Association (ABA) for the 1967-68 season as one of 11 inaugural franchises, along with such teams as the Kentucky Colonels, Anaheim Amigos, and Houston Mavericks.

The ABA’s flashy style of offensive play and colorful red, white, and blue ball provided competition for the more established National Basketball Association.

During the ABA’s first season, Pipers forward Connie Hawkins led the league in scoring by averaging 26.8 points per game. The imposing 6-foot-8 Hawkins, a New York City playground legend who began his professional career with the Pittsburgh Renaissance of the American Basketball League and then played with the Harlem Globetrotters, earned the league’s regular season and playoff Most Valuable Player honors in 1967-68.

With Hawkins as the team’s star, the Pipers posted the league’s best record during the regular season, going 54-24 for a .692 winning percentage.

After sweeping the Indiana Pacers three-games-to-nonein the Eastern Division semifinals and defeating the Minnesota Muskies in the Eastern Division finals, the Pipers earned a trip to the first ABA Championship against the New Orleans Buccaneers.

The Pipers defeated the Buccaneers 122-113 in the final game — the largest margin of victory in the best-of-seven series — to earn the team’s first and only ABA Championship.

The Pipers played their home games at the Civic Arena and averaged 3,200 fans per game throughout the season. They shared their home arena with the expansion Pittsburgh Penguins, who posted a 27-34-13 record in their first NHL season in 1967-68.

Despite winning a championship with respectable crowds, the Pipers moved to Minnesota later that year before returning to Pittsburgh for the 1969-70 season. The team couldn’t replicate the on-court or box office success from its first season and eventually changed its name to the Pittsburgh Condors. After two lackluster seasons as the Condors, the team folded in the summer of 1972.

The ABA merged with the NBA in 1976 and Pittsburgh was left without a professional basketball team until the Pittsburgh Piranhas in the 1990s and the Pittsburgh Xplosion in the 2000s.

Over the past two decades, more than 100 recipients have earned this prestigious award, including prominent Pittsburghers such as Dan Rooney, August Wilson, Fred Rogers, Michael Keaton, and David McCullough.

The History Center recently lost a member of its family with the passing of Audrey Brourman. A classically trained pianist, Audrey attended the Aspen Music Institute and later helped to found the Sun Valley International Music Festival in Idaho. Realizing her passion for fundraising, she started A.L. Brourman & Associates in 1990 as a world-class fundraising firm and began an immediate relationship with the History Center that would last for more than 20 years. “Audrey was a history maker – her tireless efforts coupled with uncommon grace and humility helped to build the History Center into a national model for history education,” said Andy Masich, president and CEO. She is survived by her sons Ronn, Jeff, and Paul and their families, including four grandchildren.

An endowment has been established in Audrey Brourman’s memory. To make a donation, contact Clara L. Pascoe at 412-454-6324 or clpascoe@heinzhistorycenter.org.

Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village was recently named one of the “Five Great Places to See Evidence of First Americans” by Smithsonian magazine. Located 35 miles southwest of Pittsburgh in Avella, Pa., the National Historic Landmark is set to open for the season on May 4.

Meadowcroft Rockshelter, the oldest site of human habitation in North America, features a massive, 16,000-year-old rock overhang used by the region’s earliest inhabitants for shelter, providing a unique glimpse into the lives of prehistoric hunters and gatherers. In addition to ancient history at the Rockshelter, visitors can also step back in time at Meadowcroft’s Historic Village, which carefully recreates all of the charming qualities of an Upper Ohio Valley Village from the mid-19th century. A 16th century Indian Village allows visitors to relive what life was like for the Eastern Woodland Indians. Visitors to Meadowcroft can also see a 1770s-era log cabin and open-sided log shelter which help to spotlight the similarities and differences between the everyday lives of European settlers and American Indians in the Upper Ohio Valley.

In addition to highlighting the state’s contributions to the Civil War effort and important conflicts such as the Battle of Gettysburg, The Civil War in Pennsylvania exhibit will showcase Pittsburgh’s role as the “Arsenal of the Union” and the impact that Western Pennsylvanians had on the war both on the battlefield and on the home front.

Featuring encampments and other immersive museum settings, six life-like museum figures, and more than 50 artifacts, The Civil War in Pennsylvania exhibit will help to bring to life the personal stories of those impacted during the four-year war. Many of the artifacts featured in the exhibit are culled from the History Center’s collection, as well as private collectors, including noted Civil War author Kenneth Turner. A full-size, 20-foot replica of a Rodman cannon, which was cast at the Fort Pitt Foundry, will provide an example of Pittsburgh’s military production and prowess.

Artifact highlights will include:• A bullet-shot forage cap worn by a Pennsylvania

Reserves soldier at the Battle of Antietam;• An “Old Iron City” camp fiddle retrieved by

the members of the 193rd Pennsylvania and inscribed with the names of each of the soldiers;

• Personal mementoes and gifts given to soldiers as they headed off to war, such as a sewing kit, a needle case, and a Bible; and

• Original Civil War recruitment posters from communities across Pa., including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Blairsville, Lock Haven, and Meadville.

The upcoming exhibit is one of several History Center programs created in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Civil War 150 commemoration, including: • The Civil War in Pennsylvania: A Special

Commemorative Edition of Pennsylvania Heritage, Pennsylvania Legacies, and Western Pennsylvania History: This summer, the History Center will collaborate with the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission (PHMC) and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) to publish a special statewide edition of the History Center’s quarterly magazine. The magazine, which will be distributed to members of each of the three organizations, will focus on various Civil War-related topics, including the Allegheny Arsenal explosion, women in the Civil War, and the Sanitary Fair movement.

• Also this summer, the History Center will release another new book, “The Civil War in Pennsylvania: The African American Experience,” featuring essays written by national experts on African American life during the Civil War.

• The History Center’s traveling exhibition, The Civil War in Pennsylvania, will visit five History Center Affiliate Program sites this year.

The long-term exhibit highlights the history of the anti-slavery movement, the Underground Railroad, and the impact of 19th century activism on the modern quest for civil and human rights in Pittsburgh.

Visitors to the exhibition will immerse themselves in the evolution of the region’s African American community, embarking on a journey that begins in 18th century Africa, crosses the Atlantic Ocean on a recreated slave ship, and ends in 21st century Western Pennsylvania.

The exhibit details the unexplored history of slavery, abolitionism, and the modern struggle for freedom using artifacts, interactive museum settings, rare documents, and audio-video components.

Exhibit highlights include:• Nearly 60 manumission, indenture, and

freedom papers from the History Center’s Detre Library & Archives recently discovered by the Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds Office that provide previously untold information about slave ownership in Western Pennsylvania;
