Gregory Kellam Scott, Colorado’s first — and only — Black Supreme Court justice, dies at 72 Denver7 Posted at 6:40 PM, Apr 01, 2021 and last updated 2021-04-01 20:40:10-04 Gregory Kellam Scott, the only Black person to serve on the Colorado Supreme Court and a role model for the state’s Black legal community, died unexpectedly Wednesday at his home in Anderson, Indiana. He was 72. “He was a giant,” Patty Powell, an adjunct faculty member at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, said Thursday. Scott was sworn onto the court on Jan. 15, 1993, after being appointed by Gov. Roy Romer, and he served seven years, stepping down in 2000 to become vice president and general counsel of Kaiser-Hill LLC, a private company contracted to clean up Rocky Flats, the former nuclear weapons facility in the northwest Denver suburbs.
