A Conversation with Diane and Roger Kahn, Part 1

Creativists in Dialogue talks with Diane and Roger Kahn.

Diane & Roger Kahn – both veterans of the Civil Rights Movement.

Diane is a visual & scenic artist, an architectural professional, an educator, and an incredibly creative cook. She was a founding member and the first stage designer of the Crested Butte Mountain Theater, the longest, continuously operating community theater in Colorado. She currently offers an art class at the Hiawatha Davis Community Center in Denver.

Roger is the author of How Crested Butte Became a Tourist Town -- Drugs, Sex, Sports, Arts, & Social Conflict. He was a Professor of Non-profit Management at Regis University and Director of Community Service Development at Metropolitan State College. He was a research director at the National Urban League, on a project that focused on the interrelationship of race, poverty, and what was then called mental retardation. Roger was also the Founder and Executive Director of the Colorado Coalition for Full Employment, a Colorado-based community advocacy organization addressing environmental, racial, labor, women’s, poverty, and rural/urban issues.
