It was such a pleasure touring the "Virgil Ortiz Revolt 1680/2180: Runners + Gliders" exhibition @HistoryColorado.
I’m thankful to have met the project's leader, award-winning Cochiti Pueblo artist @VirgilOrtiz & Sebastian Bustos, the augmented reality developer for the exhibit.

Walking through The Sand Creek Massacre alongside other museum professionals is an experience that I will not soon forget.
I hope this exhibition serves as proof to other institutions that you can/need to do hard history.
Thank you @AAMers & @HistoryColorado

Still ruminating on yesterday's #AAM2023 session "Public History Without a Playbook" led by @HistoryColorado. Love the idea that in doing community-led #PublicHistory, designing exhibits w/ different sections makes space for disagreements between individual & group collaborators.

Scroll through photos of Denver’s wild west history and you’ll find a lot of white men. But what about the women? What is now @LoDoDistrict was once home to businesswomen called madams who ran parlor houses and brothels. (1/2)

The tragic events at Sand Creek are now remembered as a massacre of children and elders, rather than a U.S. battle victory, thanks to a new exhibit at @HistoryColorado. Today on @180099Native, we speak to Chester Whiteman, Fred Mosqueda, and Sam Bock.

Contributions of Black pioneers are often erased from “old west” narratives. @CocoDavies talks with Dexter Nelson II, @historycolorado associate curator of African American History and Cultural Heritage, about The Dry, a Black homestead that dried up.
