About the Book

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.
About the Author: Robert E. Bowen is a news analyst, retired business owner, and former three-term Colorado State Representative. He enrolled in Metropolitan State College in 1968, where he received a BA in History. Robert lived through the events chronicled in this book, including the lowering of the voting age to eighteen and the nationwide protests against the Vietnam War. When colleges throughout the U.S. rioted after Kent State, Robert was instrumental in preventing violence on Colorado campuses. Since retirement, Robert continues to be involved with grass roots politics. He analyzes international, national, local, and environmental news through his two online columns. His hobbies include genealogy and writing history in the context of the times.
