New exhibit highlights the explicitly racist policies of the past that still shape today’s Denver

15 November 2018 by Welton Corridor

  “The 1930s-era map on a gallery wall does not quite match up with A.D. Lewis’ own memories of Denver. He peers closely, his hand holding a pin hovering. Then he pushes the pin at a spot on the map where he once owned a house, and steps back. “This is like 40 years of … [Read more…]

Welton Street isn’t Cherry Creek yet, but businesses are adjusting to a whiter clientele

14 April 2018 by Welton Corridor

  “As gentrification sweeps across Denver, few places show it quite like Welton Street in Five Points, where the tension between the neighborhood’s history and new development is on prominent display along one strip. On its face, gentrification is simply an economic function, the physical manifestations of investment and development in an underserved area. These … [Read more…]

How can we see redlining’s lasting impacts on Denver?

24 October 2017 by Welton Corridor

“The most striking thing about Denver’s 1934 Residential Security Map in one respect is just how much smaller the city was back then. Or maybe that’s just because I find it to be a relief that large parts of the city we have today weren’t subject to this practice. Residential Security Maps were a tool … [Read more…]

White privilege and gentrification in Denver, ‘America’s favourite city’

14 July 2016 by Welton Corridor

Mayor Hancock: ‘Denver’s getting too expensive’

2 June 2016 by Welton Corridor

The End of Black Harlem

27 May 2016 by Welton Corridor

  “I HAVE lived in Harlem for half my life — 30 years. I have seen it in all its complexities: a cultural nexus of black America, the landing place for Senegalese immigrants and Southern transplants, a home for people fleeing oppression and seeking opportunity. Harlem is the birthplace of so much poetry and music … [Read more…]

Changing Denver: Five Points

2 March 2016 by Welton Corridor

  “In the last 15 years, the city has bestowed Five Points with renewed reverence, and with it has come an influx of developer dollars and changing demographics. Together, these trends are making the historically black neighborhood a focal point in our ongoing conversations about gentrification and race. In this episode, Changing Denver tackles those … [Read more…]
