Demonstrators Protest PGH Closing
Demonstrators march from PGH (background) to City Hall. In 1976, protestors representing sundry organizations and interests demonstrated, to no avail, against Mayor Frank Rizzo’s decision to close PGH. The public hospital closed in 1977, after 133 years of operation in West Philadelphia.
