SUMMARY:Museum on Main Street in La Junta
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Humanities will tour “Crossroads: Change in Rural America\,” a Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibit to 10 Colorado communities August 2023 to December 2024. The exhibit takes a broad look at the characteristics of rural America\, how an attraction to and interaction with the land formed the basis of rural America\, and how these communities and small towns evolve. \nThe exhibition opens in La Junta at Otero College\, 1802 Colorado Ave La Junta\, CO 81050\, on January 22\, 2024 and will be on view through March 2\, 2024 before moving to the other communities. \nAbout “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” \n“Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. Currently\, most of the United States landscape remains rural with only 3.5% of the landmass considered urban. Since 1900\, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60% to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded. \nAmericans have relied on rural crossroads for generations. These places where people gather to exchange goods\, services\, culture\, and engage in political and community discussions are an important part of our cultural fabric. Despite the massive economic and demographic impacts brought on by these changes\, America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development.

SUMMARY:The Five States of Colorado Film Screening – Greeley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging exploration and illustration of the history\, culture\, concerns\, and needs of each of the five featured regions. Designed for a wide range of audiences from elementary school-age to adults\, this film addresses the history and issues within the five regions of Colorado to inform\, educate\, and serve as a basis for community discussion. Join us for an engaging exploration and illustration of the history\, culture\, concerns\, and needs of each of the five featured regions. \nThe film explores how in 1861\, the U.S. Congress carved Colorado’s boundaries representing no river\, mountain range\, tribe\, or language group to enclose five distinct areas that are now Southern Colorado; Western Colorado; the EasternPlains; the Front Range along the eastern face of the mountains; andMetropolitan Denver. Each of these regions within the state’s man-made boundaries vastly differs in terms of populations\, communities\, cultures\, communications\, and economies that have evolved from their varied geography and histories. Community conversation following the screening. \nThis event is a great opportunity to learn about Colorado\, meet fellow movie enthusiasts\, and support our local community. Don’t miss out on this exciting event! \nThank you to our partner University of Northern Colorado.

SUMMARY:Rosa Parks in Black History Live Tour – Grand Junction
DESCRIPTION:Black History Live tour is an annual recognition each February of the significant contributions African Americans have made and continue to make to art\, culture\, economic development\, education\, human rights\, medicine\, public services\, politics\, and sports. This year’s statewide tour will feature the living-history portrayals of Rosa Parks by nationally acclaimed scholar/actor Becky Stone\, and Martin Luther King\, Jr. by scholar/actor Marvin Jefferson. \nThank you to our partner Mesa County Libraries. Registration is required. \n\nmesacountylibraries.org \n\nRosa Parks (1913-2005)\nRosa Parks\, even as a child\, challenged Jim Crow. She understood herself to be a child of God. That knowledge fueled her sense of civil rights and personal dignity. She seemed fearless. After all\, she had witnessed her grandfather taking an armed stand against the Ku Klux Klan. She dared to throw bricks at white boys taunting her brother. She stood up to angry white mothers. All of which led her grandmother to exclaim\, “Rosa Louise MacCauley! You’re going to be lynched before you get out of high school!” \nAs Parks grew into womanhood\, her fears about lynching increased; however\, her commitment to changing America also increased. She married a man already involved in raising money for the defense of the Scottsboro boys\, and she became the secretary of the Montgomery Chapter of the NAACP\, a job that involved recording incidents of civil rights abuses and police brutality\, as well as writing protest letters to legislators and newspapers. Parks challenged segregation at every turn\, with only partial success\, until the day she took action to defend her personal rights and suddenly galvanized the Black people of Montgomery to take a stand together. Change in America was on the way with the Montgomery Bus Boycott – the only protest of its size\, length\, and impact in the history of the United States. \nAbout Becky Stone\nBorn and raised in Philadelphia\, PA\, Ms. Stone became a storyteller upon moving south. She holds a B.A. in Drama from Vassar College and an M.A. from Villanova University in Elementary Educational Counseling. Her acting credits include Lime Kiln Arts Theater\, VA; Warehouse Theatre\, Greenville SC; Haywood Arts Regional Theatre\, Southern Appalachian Repertory Theater\, Asheville Community Theatre\, Highland Repertory Theatre\, Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater in Asheville and Merida\, Mexico\, and Asheville on Broadway. Ms. Stone has also presented at North Carolina and Colorado Humanities Chautauqua festivals and Black History Live tours as Maya Angelou\, Harriet Tubman\, and Josephine Baker.

SUMMARY:Teow Lim Goh\, Julie Carr\, and Nina McConigley Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:2023 Colorado Book Awards Creative Nonfiction finalist Teow Lim Goh joins Julie Carr and Nina McConigley for a free panel discussion titled “Infinite West” as part of the annual Fort Collins Book Fest \nPanel Details\nHistory is haunting. And the West\, in particular\, is filled with the spirits of our ancestors\, echoing with the voices of the dead. Not all of them are recognized\, however. Not all of them get to speak. What are they trying to tell us? How do we honor them? How do we bring them peace? Tracing their way through the complex\, intersecting paths of Indigenous dispossession\, Chinese immigration\, white supremacy and more\, these three authors write into the silences of American history—reckoning with the colonial legacy of the United States\, exploring what it means to be an inheritor of violence\, and trying to create a space where all of us can live. Moderated by Arvin Ramgoolam. \nhttps://focobookfest.org/event/infinite-west/
