Fort Lewis College recently partnered with Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera to host a special screening of "A Colorado for All: A Legacy of Accessibility," a documentary that delves into Colorado's disability rights history and celebrates the state's efforts in fostering inclusion. The screening, according to the Colorado Governor's Office, was held at the college's Student Union and was a melting pot of disability advocates, Tribal Council members, community leaders, alongside students and faculty.
The event featured a Q&A with Lt. Governor Primavera, who, as reported, has championed accessibility and equity throughout her career. “Colorado has a proud legacy of leadership in the disability rights movement,” Primavera stated, as per the Colorado Governor's Office. She emphasized the documentary's role in honoring this past while pushing the envelope for current and future inclusivity efforts. The campus screening represents the initial step in a series of planned presentations across various Colorado colleges and universities, with a wider public release slated for early 2026.
Fort Lewis College's role in the event was indicative of a broader commitment to educating and engaging with students on critical issues. Interim Vice President of Diversity Affairs at FLC, Kendra Gallegos Reichle, took part in the Q&A, echoing the importance of recognizing state leaders shaping accessibility futures. "Bringing this conversation to Fort Lewis College created space for our students and community members to learn from the past while engaging directly with leaders shaping Colorado’s future,” said FLC President Heather Shotton, as obtained by the Colorado Governor's Office.
