Meeting Dedication – Barney L. Ford :NATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERS Meeting Dedication – Barney L. Ford When the Civil War ended in 1865, Ford fought for the rights of African Americans in Colorado. His influence as a leading Denver citizen helped him convince congressmen in Washington D.C. to reject a bid for Colorado statehood – BECAUSE the bid for statehood did not allow Blacks to vote. In addition to supporting African American rights, he helped start adult education programs for freed people in Colorado. Ford was also the first African American to serve on a Colorado grand jury—an inspiring and praiseworthy appointment. Barney Ford succeeded as a businessman, respected member of society, and a friend to all people. Barney Ford, You are an inspiration to us all!
