Résumé
The Record That Woke is a sweeping, deeply human novel that connects two defining moments in Pittsburgh's modern history: the January?21,?2002, protest at the city's new stadium and the 2026?NFL?Draft that returns to the same ground twenty-four years later. In?2002, Black residents warned that the stadium's construction would deepen inequality and accelerate the abandonment of their neighborhoods.
Their warning-captured in the January?23,?2002,?op-ed "Pittsburgh,?please?listen"-was ignored. Two decades later, as Pittsburgh prepares to host the 2026?NFL?Draft and celebrate a projected?$120-$160?million windfall, those same neighborhoods remain excluded from the prosperity built on their displacement. Moving between the forgotten protest of?2002, the prophetic op-ed that followed, and the high-stakes politics of?2026, The?Record?That?Woke reveals how a city's unresolved past becomes the architecture of its present.
It is a novel about memory, resistance, and the families who refuse to let the truth die quietly. But this story reaches far beyond Pittsburgh. It asks what happens when a nation's celebration of sport collides with the unfinished business of race and power. It exposes how bureaucracy can bury justice, how records can be weaponized, and how one family's fight to reclaim its home becomes a mirror for America itself.
Written with the emotional force of Roots and the precision of a legal thriller, The?Record?That?Woke transforms a local injustice into a national reckoning. A must-read for journalists, civic leaders, and every visitor to the 2026?NFL?Draft in?Pittsburgh.
