Preservation Pittsburgh is joining the Military Community Support Project to raise funds to restore this statue, a memorial to the Peabody students who served in WWI, as it reaches its centennial. The memorial sits at what is today Pittsburgh Public Schools' Barack Obama Academy of International Studies, which from 1911-2011 served as the Benjamin H. Peabody High School. This project will preserve and restore a significant Pittsburgh monument and create a much-needed welcoming outdoor space for Obama Academy students. The campaign goal is $100,000. We thank you for supporting this public-school asset, and those who served in the First World War. The statue - which faces E. Liberty Blvd - is stunning.
