Other honorees for this new Strip District attraction include jazz master George Benson, journalist Nellie Bly, industrialist Andrew Carnegie, environmentalist Rachel Carson, baseball legend Roberto Clemente, children’s television host Fred Rogers, medical researcher Dr. Jonas Salk, artist Andy Warhol and playwright August Wilson.

The honorees will have their names featured on large bronze stars embedded in the sidewalk at the Strip District Terminal, accompanied by narrative plaques describing their achievements and ties to Pittsburgh.
