Missing display cases that once filled the lobbies of two floors of the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library sparked anguish in the Five Points neighborhood as leaders in the Black community feared the Denver Public Library was erasing their history and disrespecting a community that has contributed so much to the city.⁠ ⁠ The library’s interim director has now apologized and the display cases are being restored.⁠ ⁠ The removal of the displays comes as President Donald Trump’s administration has scrubbed stories of Black Americans and other non-white people from government websites, purged books on civil rights and racism from libraries on military academy campuses, and threatened to cut funding from public schools and city governments — including Denver’s — that don’t eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ 📝: Noelle Phillips, The Denver Post⁠ 📷: Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post // hyoung_ccc ⁠ ⁠ #colorado #denver #...
