Milestone Project

The Diversity & Inclusive Milestones Project was founded by the late Dr. Richard Steckel and his wife Michele. Inspired by tragic news stories in 1998, the Colorado couple started traveling the globe to photograph children as they recognized various milestones, from losing a tooth to taking a first step. The photographs were meant to help people around the world focus on what unites us rather than divides us. In 2017, the couple donated the Milestones Project to the ACC Foundation. The exhibit travels worldwide to increase awareness of diversity and inclusivity, thanks to the sponsorship and support of Denver Digital Imaging Center and GlobalMindED.
