Connecting Activism Across Generations.
Documenting the Past Fostering the Future is a new initiative from the University of Denver’s Interdisciplinary Research Institute for the Study of (In)Equality. Rooted in critical scholarship and community engaged research, DPFF is designed to detail and activate the central role of young adults in understanding, leading, and transforming the elusive search for racial equity, personal dignity, and human rights in the Rocky Mountain West and the larger United States.

Youth Voices in El Movimiento
and the Struggle for Racial Justice along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountain West
A Curriculum Powered by Today’s Youth
With a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, we are designing 12-18 integrated courses to engage students, faculty, and community members in place-based learning, humanities research, and inclusive pedagogy to understand how the activities of young people in the past informs the rigor, scope and impact of racial justice work in the present and future.
We Want To
Hear From You.
This project only works with passionate input from activists from every generation, participating, sharing and reflecting the rich history of activism.
We invite you to share your stories and testimonios of youth leadership, impact, and influence, both contemporary and historic, in an effort to document the past, and foster the future.
