"Everyone Welcome-Fannie Mae Duncan"

What is the likelihood that a middle child of seven born to African American tenant farmers in rural Oklahoma in 1918 would end up in Colorado and figure into American history?  She faced her father’s untimely death, the Dust Bowl and segregation, moving to Colorado Springs in 1933.

Fannie Mae Duncan defied the odds and became a business woman, an entrepreneur and helped successfully integrate Colorado Springs. See historic photographs and hear the remarkable story of Fannie Mae Duncan and the COTTON CLUB  in Colorado Springs with presenter and author-Kathleen Esmiol.  Her life is now chronicled in the “African American National Biography” .

Members are free and non-members are $5.  Light refreshments served.  Esmiol’s book by the same name available for purchase and signing.
