Ed Gainey, Pittsburgh’s first Black mayor, will be sworn at 1 p.m. this afternoon. His inauguration comes a day after hosting an interfaith service that, he told viewers, could serve as a model for his efforts to unify the city.
“I love this city. Without this city I would not be who I am today,” Gainey said after being sworn in shortly before 2 p.m. “We will work to make Pittsburgh the Pittsburgh you voted for.”
