Space is limited\, reserve your spot today! \nReserve Your Space Now\n  \nAbout LGBTQ Denver by Phil Nash\, Foreword by Dr. Tom Noel \nDenver is the Mile High City\, the Queen City of the Plains\, and the Gateway to the West. Today\, the city attracts thousands of new residents each year\, including the LGBTQ people from the rural West and digital nomads from around the nations seeking a welcoming community where they can thrive. In LGBTQ Denver Nash showcases how the city evolved from its pre-1970s history of rebuking gay people to a magnet for LGBTQ residents and the capital of the first state to elect and reelect the nation’s first openly gay governor. \nAbout Phil Nash \nA Michigan native\, Phil Nash made Denver his home in 1976 and launched a career in LGBTQ activism\, journalism\, and organizational leadership. He helped found\, and was the first staff member of the Gay Community Center of Colorado (today known as The Center on Colfax). He later became editor of Out Front\, Colorado’s leading LGBTQ publication in the early 1980s. He also wrote for The Advocate\, Westword\, and other local and national news outlets. He helped found and served as first board chair of the Colorado AIDS Project. As an out gay professional\, Nash later worked in a series of senior communications roles in civic and philanthropic organizations\, including as an advisor to Denver Mayor Federico Peña. In LGBTQ Denver\, Nash documents more than five decades of Denver’s LGBTQ history\, much of which he witnessed firsthand\, reported\, and photographed. “I wrote LGBTQ Denver as yet another way to help build a stronger community\,” says Nash\, “especially at a time when darker forces in our society want to turn back the clock and erase the evidence of our existence.” URL:/event-calendar/49365/ LOCATION:ĚđąĎĘÓƵ\, 2323 East Iliff Avenue\, Denver\, CO\, 80210\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://iliff-edu.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10150107/LBTQ-Event-_-Insta.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250519T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250519T200000 DTSTAMP:20250428T041413 CREATED:20250411T165258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250414T141409Z UID:49387-1747675800-1747684800@www.iliff.edu SUMMARY:Threads of Freedom: A Celebration of Music\, History\, and Heroes DESCRIPTION:Register Today!\nEvent Details:\nJoin us for our annual Vincent G.

Dr. LaRoche’s expertise includes archaeology\, African American history\, and material culture. Her work on the Underground Railroad\, free Black communities\, and the AME Church is unparalleled – this work is what brought William Paul Quinn to her attention. She has contributed to numerous scholarly works\, museums\, documentaries\, and archaeological projects and is a dynamic and compelling speaker. Most recently she has been working as an ethnohistorian\, collecting family stories from the descendants of the those who were once held in slavery on National Park Service sites. She has worked for numerous cultural and historical institutions\, including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture\, where she was the project historian for the “Cultural Expressions” inaugural exhibition. She is an associate research professor in Historic Preservation in the School of Architecture at the University of Maryland\, College Park. She is grateful for the numerous awards she has received across her career. Dr. LaRoche is the author of Free Black Communities and the Underground Railroad: the Geography of Resistance. Her latest book\, Apostle of Liberation: AME Bishop Paul Quinn and the Underground Railroad was published by Rowman & Littlefield earlier this year.  \nAbout the Spirituals Project:\nIn 1998\, The Spirituals Project was founded by Arthur C. Jones to preserve and revitalize the music and teachings of the sacred folk songs called “spirituals\,” created and first sung by African Americans in slavery. The Spirituals Project is a past recipient of the Denver Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. The Project has presented a wide variety of high-profile musical and educational programs over the years\, including a national conference on spirituals in 2013 featuring poet Nikki Giovanni as keynote speaker\, and a historic concert in 2009 at Denver’s Ellie Caulkins Opera House in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s 80th birthday\, featuring the renowned mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves as a guest artist. In September 2018\, The Spirituals Project Choir performed with renowned opera soprano Kathleen Battle as she presented her concert\, “Underground Railroad: A Spiritual Journey” at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House\, Denver. \nWith the official transition of The Spirituals Project to the University of Denver\, the multi-ethnic Spirituals Project Choir will present concerts in a variety of venues and will continue to present educational programs regionally and nationally. \nRegister Today!
