For the past two years, the Western History Department has collected posters, objects and photos from marchers who participated in the Women’s March on Denver. This year, we will collect stories at the march and online.
When I worked on the Pink Progression exhibit last year, I had the privilege of working with several donors from the 2017 Women’s March. Collecting their stories was a powerful experience that added to the depth of the collection. On January 19, we will capture more of these stories by setting up a “Share Your Story” station in Acoma Plaza during the march. We will provide a worksheet for people to share (through words and/or drawing) why they marched. We will also collect stories and photos online until January 31. Please stop by and see us on January 19 or share online!

As if there was any question of the left-wing bias at DPL.
DNC stopped supporting the
DNC stopped supporting the women's match. Didn't you get the message ? Anti-Semitic, anti-men (especially white men who are now committing suicide at an alarming rate ), anti-work, anti-police, anti-education, anti everything that makes a society civil. What is it you do like ? Could you possibly find it in another country ? Tired of ignorant people that have no idea how the world works. Get a Clue.

It will be interesting down
It will be interesting down-the-road to look back at this crazy time and see how identity politics plays out. So far, it looks like the Left is down the intersectionality rabbit hole, eating its own. Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour lead The Women's March. Black Lives Matter activist Tamika calls the rabid anti-semite, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, the “Greatest of All Time.” Meanwhile, hijab-wearing Linda Sarsour tells the world that it should Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel. Together, these two blow up The March. Tom Wolfe couldn't have written any better.
Thanks for the comment. These
Thanks for the comment. These are indeed crazy times. Our aim in collecting material from the march even in times of controversy are to document the history as it is happening. It is our hope that many years from now scholars will research and study these events to explore the impact it had on history. If you would like to share your story please share online!
