SECAHP is joining forces with two local partners, the Juneteenth Organization of Pueblo and the Martin Luther King, Jr., Cultural Center, to present this two-part exploration of the African-American contribution to the rich heritage of Pueblo and Colorado.

The morning event will be a seminar (9am - 11am) on African-American history in Colorado and Pueblo that will be FREE and open to the public. The second event (1pm - 3pm) will be a workshop for up to 35 regional K-12 teachers of American History on incorporating Colorado and Pueblo African-American history into their curricula.

The day’s activities will be moderated by Dr. Colette Carter of the CSU-Pueblo Political Science program. Dr. Carter is well-versed on the history and experiences of African-Americans in the West. Colorado and Pueblo are special areas of interest for her work.

Also on the program will be Diane Baker of PCC, who is doing a dissertation on the history of African-American businesses in Pueblo from 1850 onward. For more information or to reserve a spot at the presentation, contact Dr. Carter at (719) 549-2426

June 19, 2005 Historic Five Points Arts & Culture District - The event is titled The 19th of June Community Celebration. This event will focus on the re-education and advising our community on the true purpose for Juneteenth. We will market the Five Points businesses and organizations in the area. There will be no paid booths only civic organization and sponsorship booths. We will have "FREE" food and red soda provided by the organizations for the first time, rather than having a large amount of paid vendors coming to the sight and not investing in the community with the profits that are made from the event.
