Honoring Black History and Community Impact
Last night, we had the incredible honor of attending the Black History Month Celebration hosted by Denver Human Rights & Community Partnerships, the HRCP Denver African American Commission, Commission for People with Disabilities and the Denver Mayor’s Office. The energy in the room was electric, filled with passionate leaders, change-makers, and community members coming together to honor the rich legacy of Black leadership, innovation, and advocacy.
Spotlighting Inspiring Organizations
Throughout the evening, we had the opportunity to connect with inspiring organizations like Denver CARES, and the Urban Leadership Foundation of Colorado—each working tirelessly to uplift and empower our communities. These organizations are making a real impact, from providing critical resources to fostering leadership and amplifying Black excellence. Their work is a testament to the strength and resilience of our city’s Black-led initiatives.
Denver Sister Cities: Representing Global Connection
We were especially proud to see our Board Member and Youth Committee Co-Chair, Alia Gant, along with many amazing Denver Sister Cities International members, representing our mission of global connection and cultural understanding with pride. Events like these remind us why we do what we do—bridging communities, building partnerships, and celebrating the diversity that makes Denver such a vibrant city.
A Celebration of Leadership and Empowerment
From engaging conversations to inspiring performances, the night was a beautiful showcase of unity and empowerment. Thank you to everyone who attended, celebrated, and reaffirmed our shared commitment to strengthening our community. Here’s to continuing the work of honoring Black history—not just in February, but every day—through action, collaboration, and unwavering support.
