Paul Wilbur Stewart (December 18, 1925 – November 12, 2015) was an American historian, best known for founding Black American West Museum and Heritage Center in 1971. BiographyStewart was born in Clinton, Iowa to Eugene Joseph Stewart and Martha L. Stewart (née Moor). He served in the US Navy upon graduating high school, and later settled in Evanston, Illinois with his brother. Stewart worked at the local post office while attending Roosevelt University. However, he dropped out to help his brother with tuition. Stewart subsequently earned a license from Moler Barber College and worked as a barber in Illinois, Wisconsin and New York.[1] He moved to Denver in 1962, and opened another barber shop. With the help of his customers, Stewart began collecting Old West memorabilia shortly afterward. As the collection grew, it was moved multiple times.[2][3] The museum was officially established as the Black American West Museum and Heritage Center in 1971 and located at 221 24th Street, where it spent one year before moving to the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Detroit Street. Stewart next moved his collection to the Clayton School for Boys in 1975. It was moved to the Five Points neighborhood in 1985, to a space on 26th and Welton Streets. The museum bought and moved into its permanent home, the Justina Ford residence on California Street and 30th Avenue, in 1988.[4] The museum, billed as "the only Western-black-history museum in the world,"[2] highlights the history of African American's movement west and includes artifacts and pictorial histories of cowboys, farmers, ranchers, miners, Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee Airmen and the residents of the Five Points area. An exhibit dedicated to Ford remains on display in a room of the house.[5] Stewart was of African American and Cherokee descent, and a cousin of Earl Mann,[2] who served in the Colorado House of Representatives.[6] He was married to Johnnie Mae Davis from 1986[7] to his 2015 death in Aurora, Colorado.[8][9] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Paul Stewart Interview|url=http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/paul-stewart-41|accessdate=November 15, 2015|publisher=The HistoryMakers|date=November 6, 2008}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Wenzel|first1=John|title=Museum founder celebrates blacks in the West, Colorado celebrates him|url=http://www.denverpost.com/lifestyles/ci_27127861/museum-founder-celebrates-blacks-west-colorado-celebrates-him|accessdate=November 15, 2015|work=Denver Post|date=December 13, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Bowman|first1=Jon|title=Black western pioneer celebrates Black History Month|url=http://kdvr.com/2013/02/08/black-american-west-museum-shares-history-not-in-history-books/|accessdate=November 15, 2015|publisher=KDVR|date=February 8, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Witcher|first1=T.R.|title=Paul Stewart|url=http://www.westword.com/news/paul-stewart-5058264|accessdate=November 15, 2015|work=Westword|date=January 29, 1998}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/22/AR2007062200668.html|title=In Denver, Black Cowboys Get Their Due|date=June 24, 2007|accessdate=May 24, 2014|work=The Washington Post|archiveurl=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2245&dat=20070706&id=9gFSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=lzQNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3785,590644&hl=en|via=The Lodi News-Sentinel and Google News|archivedate=July 6, 2007|first1=Gary|last1=Lee|deadurl=no}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Mars|first1=Shaun Michael|title=Mann, Earl (1886-1969)|url=http://www.blackpast.org/aaw/mann-earl-1886-1969|accessdate=November 15, 2015|publisher=BlackPast.org}} 7. ^{{cite journal|last1=Golus|first1=Carrie|title=Stewart, Paul Wilbur|journal=Contemporary Black Biography|date=2005|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-2871400063.html|publisher=Thomsen Gale}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Wenzel|first1=John|title=Paul Stewart, founder of Black American West Museum, dies at 89|url=http://www.denverpost.com/lifestyles/ci_29109022/paul-stewart-founder-black-american-west-museum-dies|accessdate=November 15, 2015|work=Denver Post|date=November 12, 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Bowman|first1=Jon|title=Pioneer Paul Stewart, Black American West Museum founder, dies at 89|url=http://kdvr.com/2015/11/13/pioneer-paul-stewart-black-american-west-museum-founder-dies-at-89/|accessdate=November 15, 2015|publisher=KDVR|date=November 13, 2015}} External links
