HEAVY READING

Babita Rai, originally from Nepal and now a student at Baldwin High School, struggles to hold an old, heavy book used in the founding of Pittsburgh during a tour Wednesday of the City-County Building, Downtown, before a meeting with Mayor Bill Peduto and other students. Mr. Peduto met with young immigrants and refugees from Nepal, Thailand, Syria, and the Dominican Republic to communicate his intention to make a welcoming environment for all, to explain details of the United States legal system, and to express his disapproval of the recent actions of President Donald Trump.
