Many believe Elsie Hillman’s impact on the community will be long-lasting; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 8/6/15

Dan Majors, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; Many believe Elsie Hillman’s impact on the community will be long-lasting:
"“Elsie Hillman was about people and what was fair,” said Esther Bush, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh. “She is known for taking stands that had caused some people to quiver — in support of African-Americans, in support of women, in support of gays and lesbians. If they were people and they were not being treated fairly, Elsie was on their side.”
She always was...
"It was not just the resources, her heart was what made the difference. The best thing that Pittsburgh can do is to emulate Elsie’s heart, her support, her caring for people, her understanding of the human condition. She believed in us all.”"
