DENVER — A mural that will honor the historic Denver Chinatown is in the works right now. It's on the side of Fire Station #4, right on the outskirts of the once vibrant economic and cultural center which is now modern day Lower Downtown.
"After [the riot], the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed federally, there was a huge wave of anti-Chinese sentiment and people at that time just didn't want any Chinese people in their neighborhoods. As a result, the Chinatown was never really able to rebuild," Ha said."Physically and metaphorically," Ha said.
"I had to dig a little deeper and look at articles, read through them, make notes. Then I was, after all the research, able to sit down and start sketching," Lor said.
