In 1870, Religious Leaders, Community Advocates, Social Groups, Politicians and Abolitionist organized the "Grand Jubilee of Freemen Parade" celebrating passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. These groups marched through Downtown Pittsburgh, the Lower Hill District and to Allegheny City to highlight the unity of mankind, freedom and equality for all people.
On April 28th, 1870, It was reported that some 5,000 people (Blacks, Whites and Natives) attended and marched in this event.
