Ideas abound at public meeting held to save August Wilson Center

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Maybe there are performers, some known nationally who have helped stage works by August Wilson over the years, who would be moved to donate money to help save a cultural center bearing the Pittsburgh-born playwright's name.
Or perhaps some local pro sports figures with millions of dollars in personal wealth could be compelled to get behind a community cause.
For nearly three hours Friday, a Pittsburgh Public Schools committee considered those and other ways the district could acquire and preserve the now-dormant August Wilson Center for African American Culture.
