Our hearts are broken for the whole Cleo Parker Robinson family and community. The loss of Tom Robinson will be deeply felt by all of us. Over the years, we had the pleasure and honor of being touched by the big heart, the generosity, and the impact that this great leader has left upon our communities. On behalf of the MSU Denver Chicana/o Studies department, the Journey through our Heritage program, CHAC, and the Colorado Folk Arts Council, we send our deepest sympathies and condolences. "And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.” ― Maya Angelou
