Our Cocktails in Cool Places program moves into its second year starting in Five Points, historically called the “Harlem of the West.” The program begins at the Blair Caldwell Library where we will revisit redlining practices in early Denver, which shaped the neighborhood and continues to impact it now. After the conversation there, we will walk down Welton Street to Urban Sanctuary yoga and wellness studio, whose business is focused on remaining accessible to the community. The building was originally constructed for Douglass Mortuary, owned by Lewis and Frederick Douglass Jr., sons of abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
