The "Everybody Welcome" festival this summer promises to be bigger and better this year. In addition to the Saturday festival on August 23rd there will be Cotton Club celebration on Friday evening. Some of you may remember Fannie Mae Duncan's Cotton Club in Colorado Springs. She hung an "everybody welcome" sign in front of her business to challenge racial and social divisions that existed elsewhere in society. The Colorado Springs Diversity Forum named this festival in her honor. City Auditorium will be re-made as Cotton Club and you are invited to come in vintage attire (or otherwise) to enjoy music, refreshments, and a presentation on Fannie Mae Duncan. There will also be dancing to our own Sam Milazzo and the Colorado Springs Big Band and others. Admission is free and it would be great to have whole UCCS contingent there. Let me know if you plan to attend. The Saturday festival will include broad representation of Colorado Springs organizations, businesses and performing artists. There will be an expanded program of children's activities. See the link below for more details. Have a great weekend, Kee Warner Associate Vice Chancellor for Diversity |
