In 1978, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women, in California, planned and executed a \u201cWomen\u2019s History Week,\u201d during the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women\u2019s Day. The movement spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women\u2019s History Week celebrations the following year. Several years later, a consortium of women\u2019s groups and historians successfully lobbied for national recognition. In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8 as National Women\u2019s History Week. In 1987, congress passed additional resolutions requesting each President to proclaim March as Women\u2019s History Month.<\/div>\n

To begin honoring Women\u2019s History Month at CC, the Antiracist Book Club<\/a> Block 6 selection is New York Times bestseller \u201cHood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot,\u201d by Mikki Kendall<\/a>. In this searing collection of essays, Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, arguing it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women. Kendall will be coming to speak on campus at a time to be determined. Be sure to register for your copy of the book<\/a>, which you will then be available to pick up at the CC Bookstore. Watch this space for more information on the speaking event!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Disability Awareness Month<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
This is the 28th year the United States has recognized and celebrated March as National Disability Awareness Month. On February 26, 1987, President Ronald Reagan officially declared Proclamation 5613 making March National Disabilities Awareness Month.  The proclamation called for people to provide understanding, encouragement, and opportunities to help persons with disabilities to lead productive and fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n

The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College offers Mashburn\/Marshall Tactile Gallery<\/a> for special attention to those who are blind, sight-impaired, or have special needs. This is the only gallery in the FAC where you are invited and encouraged to touch the art. In fact, patrons are encouraged to experience each object in the gallery with as many of your senses as possible: hands, fingers, eyes. Spend as much time as you like. Getting to know a piece of art is like making a new friend \u2014 it takes time. The Mashburn\/Marshall Tactile Gallery is always free to enter and explore during normal museum hours. Since its inception, the Tactile Gallery has been generously supported by the Colorado Springs Alumnae Chapter of Delta Gamma Sorority. <\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Despite the abundance of evidence on the importance of physical activity for a healthy lifestyle for individuals of all ages, races, and abilities, there are barriers to access in every-day life. <\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

As a result, millions of Americans lack the appropriate assessment, prescription, referral, and counseling for physical activity that would prevent or manage many of the most painful, distressing, and fatal chronic diseases.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

NiCole Keith<\/a> specializes in being a voice for those who don\u2019t have their own voice<\/span>. She is dedicated to research and programming that increases physical activity participation, improves fitness, and positively influences health outcomes while addressing health equity. \u201cIt is vitally important that all people remain physically active throughout their lifetime,\u201d says Keith.  <\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Keith will be presenting the 2023 Harold D. and Rhoda N. Roberts Memorial Lecture in the Natural Sciences with her lecture, Colorado College: “Ageism, Racism, Sexism, and Other Unfortunate Isms that Present Barriers to Physical Activity,”<\/a> on Tuesday March 7, 7-8:30 p.m.<\/strong> in the Richard F. Celeste Theater, Edith Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center.<\/div>\n
