Description
Chicano history runs deep in Denver’s Westside, particularly in its collection of murals. Many have already been lost to time and development, but now, a proposed Historic Cultural District and a city-wide campaign to recognize more Chicano and Latino historical sites are in the works to help protect what’s left. With the guidance of mural expert and archaeologist Lucha Martínez de Luna, director of the Chicano/a Murals of Colorado Project, this new push for historic preservation is working to incorporate the cultural and historic context that anchors the La Alma Lincoln Park neighborhood. Lucha is on the show today to share her personal connection with the murals and the some of that important context.
The City of Denver is holding two community meetings, on April 28 and May 15, to talk about the proposed Historic Cultural District. For more information, go here.
