Community Calendar

The Colorado Black Equity Study team will host a Community Listening Session at noon on Saturday, April 11th at Fort Lewis College, in Skyhawk Station room 118.
The public is invited to learn about the study’s progress and contribute by sharing lived experiences in a guided discussion.

The Colorado Black Equity Study is conducting evidence-based historical research about practices, systems, and policies of the State of Colorado that have harmfully impacted Black Coloradans. As part of these efforts, the study team from History Colorado is engaging with communities through listening sessions to gather input based on personal experiences. This event is free.

Calling knitters, crocheters, and fiber artists of all ages and levels!

Come work on your current project in an informal group setting! We meet every second and fourth Saturday of the month.
