A Moment in Pitt History: The Cathedral of Learning is home to 31 Nationality Rooms ranging from all countries of the world.

The English Room, classroom 144, was designed by Albert A. Klimcheck in 16th century Tudor Gothic style and reflects major aspects of American History: English language and law. It is the largest Nationality Room and contains a large amount of original material from London's House of Commons which was destroyed by bombs during World War II. Each window bears a coat of arms representing an English city or a famous English person from history. The English room was dedicated on November 21, 1952. This room, along with twenty-five other Nationality Rooms with different architectural styles, was conceived in the 1920s by sociologist Ruth Crawford Mitchell as a means of linking the university with the immigrant culture of the steel-working families.

In this photo, workers use a window to load a column to be installed in the English Nationality Room with the Heinz Memorial Chapel seen on the left!

International Human Rights Day is today, December 10th! Today commemorates the anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)(https://ow.ly/BAy250UoBsh). This document outlines the rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being regardless of race, color, religion, s*x, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. The UDHR is the most translated document in the world, available in 577 languages.

The 2024 theme is "Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now." It is a call to acknowledge the importance and relevance of human rights in our everyday lives. For more information, please visit https://ow.ly/WBIW50UoBsf.
