February is Black History Month, and the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) is proud to highlight the rich and complex Black history of the Pikes Peak region this month and throughout the year. 

“We invite everyone to explore Black history at the CSPM all year through our exhibits, programs and virtual galleries,” said Leah Davis Witherow, CSPM Curator of History. “During this special month, we look forward to sharing more stories with the community and providing opportunities for them to delve deeper into Black History in Colorado Springs.”

The CSPM features stories in our permanent galleries: Any Place That is North and West, The Story of Us, COS@150, 50% of the Story: Women Expressing Creativity and online through our innovative Story of Us Mobile website that document how African Americans have continued to shape the Pikes Peak region socially, politically, intellectually, culturally and economically. 

For Black History Month 2025, the public is invited to engage with these community stories through public programs, virtual galleries and social media posts. Visit the Colorado Springs Pioneer's Museum website to learn more.
