The actions that created Martin Luther King Jr.’s indelible legacy are well-noted. Whether it is his impactful bus protests in Montgomery, AL, in 1955 or his world-renown “I Have A Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, his speeches, visits, and protests remain as impactful today as they were decades ago. It speaks to the challenges society still faces to this day. One part of his journey that isn’t as discussed as often is his visits to Denver, Colo.
They aren’t heralded as much outside the Mile High City, but the impact of his visits still resonates in Denver to this day.
