Gullah Culture ‘Hangs On’ at Weekend Institute in Denver
DENVER
The “Mile High City” may be considered an unlikely location to hold a conference on Gullah culture, but more than 100 scholars, students and local residents came together last weekend to participate in the First Annual Gullah Studies Institute, sponsored by Metropolitan State College of Denver and spearheaded by Jacquelyn Benton, visiting assistant professor in the African and African-American Studies Department at MSCD.

I really enjoyed this article! I’m so glad Diverse Issues had opportunity to highlight some of the richness and culture that does exist in Denver. Often times we are looked over simply because many believe there is no black population in Colorado, not to mention a community concerned with preserving our culture!
Thanks again, and very well written!
