This month we celebrate Black History with Robert F. Smith, the wealthiest Black man in America as our cover story. We also look back at the success and legacy of Reginald F. Lewis and the upcoming Rachel B. Noel Distinguished Visiting Professor, Cleo Parker Robinson. The February issue features several organizations that are creating, preserving and expanding Black history including Ski Noir 5280, the Museum for Black Girls, the Urban Leadership Foundation of Colorado and the Five Points Business Improvement District. This issue also features a sneak peek at Makin’ Cake, a touring production that discusses the bitter truth of historic oppression and modern inequity in a sweet, cake baking environment.
And each year, Denver Urban Spectrum recognizes history makers in our own Colorado communities with the “African Americans Who Make A Difference” awards. This issue highlights the profiles of 16 men and women whose devotion to their community is a shining example of Black History in the making.
