    On this page, The section on Chuck Cooper … "This Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, native grew up with sports on his mind and a basketball in his hands."

    On April 1, 1950 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was spelled with the H, not "Pittsburg" as you have it here. This is important as Pittsburghers are very proud of their "H".See:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh#Etymology

    "From 1891 to 1911, the city's name was federally recognized as "Pittsburg", though use of the final h was retained during this period by the city government and other local organizations.[22][18] After a public campaign, the federal decision to drop the h was reversed.[18] The Pittsburg Press continued spelling the city without an h until 1921.[23]"also see:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_PittsburghThanks,
