RIGHT: This pair of shoes belonging to Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Jones were named Colorado’s Most Significant artifact in 2019. In 1918, she became the first Black woman to graduate from CU, but was denied recognition and thus overlooked in the university’s history for nearly a century. Her life story provides insight into critical issues such as slavery, social mobility, racism, and oppression, offering an illustrative example of what people of color have experienced throughout history and continue to experience today.
