James "Yaya" Hough is a prominent artist whose work has significantly contributed to the cultural and historical landscape of Pittsburgh and Black history. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Hough’s art is deeply rooted in social justice, often exploring themes of incarceration, freedom, and racial inequality. His murals, including those created through the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, serve as powerful visual narratives that bring attention to the struggles and resilience of Black communities. Hough’s contributions extend beyond his artwork, as he actively engages with youth and formerly incarcerated individuals, using art as a tool for healing and empowerment in Pittsburgh and beyond.#ASALH #JamesYayaHough #KnowYourBlackHistory #ASALHPittsburgh ...
