Description
Metropolitan State College of Denver opened its doors in 1965, a time in the history of our country filled with political strife and civil unrest. The Vision, The Struggle tells the story of an idea conceived by men and women who desired to provide a college education to the previously underserved populations in Denver. It chronicles the long, bitter and difficult struggle to turn that vision into reality, an effort that in many ways emulated the bigger battles being played out across America. Bowen not only recounts the conflict to open Metro, but he provides a unique insight into the philosophical debate behind its very existence. Using the music of the 1960's and explaining events in the context of that decade, we are able to grasp the relevance of those times. Throughout this book, Mr. Bowen demonstrates how history can both entertain and enlighten. To glimpse a unique view of Denver's role in a turbulent moment in our nation's history, The Vision, The Struggle is a must-read.
