Mrs. Carla Wilson is a living confirmation of James Brown’s lyrics: “A Man can make everything,
everything, everything, but a Woman makes a better Man...”
She has lived recent American History in her flesh. After graduting from Avella Area High School
near Pittsburgh, she worked as a Medical Secretary before earning her Bachelor’s in the Humanities
at the University of Pittsburgh. She was also a key member of the team that delivered a wide array
of critical services to African American senior citizen in the mid-1990s out of the Hill House located
in the uptown historic Hill District, once the Mecca of Black America. More importantly, since 1999
at least, she has been running the daily Public Relations, Advertising in local/national news outlets,
Switchboard, and Social Media posts for the Black Chronicle [+ Teachers’ Guide]: from the Slavery
Era – 1778 to the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement – 1956*. She still found time to remain
an active Social Worker with the Allegheney County Youth and Family Services until her recent
retirement (2002 – 2020).
