Editor’s note: Historian David McCullough delivered the following words on a Pittsburgh riverboat in a speech to a select group of local leaders at the launch of the Riverlife Task Force. We are publishing this essay for the first time with permission of The Heinz Endowments on the occasion of the launch of a new campaign of renewal: Pittsburgh Tomorrow. His words are as potent now as then in pointing the way to a new Pittsburgh. I think this is an opportunity such as no city in the country has.
