CWHF Wins Heartland Emmy!
In March of 2018, CWHF premiered a film series featuring 5 Inductees on Rocky Mountain PBS. The category for Best Music Composition/Arrangement was awarded to CWHF for the episode, “Saving the Soul of Denver” featuring CWHF Inductee Dana Crawford, who is a visionary preservationist and developer who worked to preserve historic downtown Denver. The Hall gives thanks and gratitude to former Video Chair, Betty Heid, Lisa Downing, composer and pianist, Rebecca Martinez, and Enchanted Road Productions Bill Ranshaw and Rick Higgins who were also involved and awarded in this endeavor!
CWHF partners with Center for Colorado Women’s History for Equality Day
On August 26, The Legendary Ladies of Colorado performed at the Center for Colorado Women’s History’s Women’s Equality Day today. All are inductees in our Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame. They are portraying (l to r) Mary Rippon, Frances Weisbart Jacobs, Portia Mansfield, Augusta Tabor, Anne Evans and Ellis Meredith. All were notable suffragists in Colorado’s quest for approval of Women’s right to vote. CO was the first state to approve the amendment and by popular vote. We were 30 years ahead of the US Congress approval of a US amendment impacting all states in the Union.
