May 13, 2002 is not only World Falun Dafa Day, but also the Falun Dafa Day of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. Practitioners from the Pittsburgh area gathered at Schenley Park in Oakland to celebrate this special day.

Practitioners displayed pictures of "Journey of Falun Dafa" and many visitors slowed down to watch and read the descriptions.

In the afternoon, it began to rain lightly. Many people came and asked the practitioners questions. One African American lady had read the Falun Dafa book before and she was so happy to find us here. Another young lady told us that she had been to Tiananmen Square and saw the practitioners peacefully appealing there. But the policemen brutally beat them and arrested the practitioners. She said she was stunned at the violence of the police. Many people asked where they could learn Falun Gong exercises.
