@real0ne_don: It was recently my great-grandmother’s 96th birthday, so I went to visit her, my grandpa, and my grandma. We talked for a while, and I ended up learning so much more about Denver’s Black history and how many legendary Black entertainers have ties to our city. I also learned that my grandpa knew members of Earth, Wind & Fire very well😂 Although Earth, Wind & Fire wasn’t formed in Denver, the city has some major ties to the legendary group! Philip Bailey, Larry Dunn, and Andrew Woolfolk all attended Denver’s East High School before becoming members of Earth, Wind & Fire. Pam Grier also has Denver roots. Her father served in the military, and her family eventually settled in Denver, where she attended and graduated from East High School. Don Cheadle wasn’t born in Denver, but he also grew up here and graduated from East High School. #earthwindandfire #september #denvercolorado #BlackHistory #blackindenver
