I read with great interest this article (“How a Colorado law school dug into its history to celebrate its unsung Black graduates”) by Rebecca Ciota in The Conversation. The article documents the efforts to document the history of African American graduates of the University of Colorado Law School.

In 2024, inspired by an article published by Boston College Law School, Colorado Law decided to explore its Black history. “Using the information [Ciota, a law librarian] gathered, . . . [she] produced biographies about six of Colorado Law’s Black students from the law school’s beginnings in 1892 and the beginning of affirmative action at the university in 1968. . . . [She] continued [her] research toward the present and published `Uncovering What Was Always There: Black History at Colorado Law in October.” The article describes the extensive and painstaking investigative work required to document the African American history of Colorado Law. Congrats on great work!
