Black History in the Denver Metro Area

The journey of Black History and the history of minoritized and marginalized groups, individuals and communities cannot be lost as time goes by. The era of greatness and contribution continues. Although some will consider Black History, just that - history, DSST pushes against that ideology and narrative. Instead, we continue to spotlight Black pioneers in the Denver Metro Area, of the past and present, to help our community recognize and value the history within our own backyard. Black history is not relegated to the southern states nor the east coast.
