Today I learned that Colorado was the first state, back in 1907, to recognize Columbus Day. Hopefully, it’ll soon follow Denver’s steps and change it to #IndigenousPeoplesDay. In the meantime, here are some great stories from our #IAmDenver team!

We're not surprised that the City and County of Denver made this list for the top destinations to travel to in 2020...but you don't have to wait until next year to visit. #BestinTravel

At Denver Museum working on an #IAmDenver story about #DiadelosMuertos #DayoftheDead. Coming soon! Do you celebrate this extraordinary Mexican tradition? Many thanks to MCC Denver

#DiadelosMuertos or #DayoftheDead is a traditional Mexican celebration that honors loved ones who’ve passed away. #IAMDENVER talks to MCC Denver at the Denver Museum about the meaning of this day, how it's often confused for a celebration of death & why it unites us all.

We asked Julia Alvarez to open up her reading diary and recommend some books she's read and loved in the past year. Take a look and add some new titles to your reading lists! lighthousewriters.org/blog/book-juli…

Awesome turnout at today’s City and County of Denver #IAmDenver Storytelling Lab at Rocky Mountain PBS. Can’t wait to share all the stories we’re recording! #denver #storytelling #storyteller

What do #bilingual people who constantly go back and forth between English and Spanish (or whatever languages they speak)do when dictating something to Siri? Is sticking to one language really the only option? How sad!! #beingbilingual #bilingualproblems

Thank you so much, Deborah Netburn ! This has definitely been a topic of conversation everywhere I go and one of my main questions. Now I know! 👍🏼
