Museum of Boulder Listen Backs

Museum of Boulder 2205 Broadway, Boulder CO

The “Listen Backs” series invites public engagement with the oral histories of Colorado’s Black community. Attendees will dive deep and engage in thought-provoking dialogue around the Black experience in this predominantly White state. A community-based project called Proclaiming Colorado’s Black History will be more than two and a half years underway at the time Listen Backs begin and its namesake exhibit will be open for its two-year run. As part of this initiative, the predominantly Black team has been recording and digitizing over 25 original oral histories of Black Coloradoans conducted by the NAACP Boulder County’s Historian, Minister Glenda Strong Robinson. The Creative Director of Programs at the Museum of Boulder, Nyasha James-Davis, would like to bring these oral histories to life for the public with live events in which an audience listens to an oral history and then engages in a facilitated dialogue with prominent Black Coloradoans after its completion.
