Asian-American and Pacific Islanders’ heritage alive in Colorado

Listen Now

Recorded at History Colorado in Denver, this episode of RealTalk recognizes how AAPI communities shape the state. You’ll hear Joie Ha talk about the exhibit, “Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined.” Also, Mimi Luong from Denver’s Far East Center talks about the Little Saigon Business District, and its recent honor as the first Asian-owned building in the city to achieve a historical landmark. Plus, stories from a survivor of a Japanese internment camp in Colorado who recently passed away. For years before his death, Bob Fuchigami fought to keep the history of the camp from fading away.

RealTalk is hosted by Colorado Public Radio’s Nathan Fernando-Frescas and Denver 7’s Micah Smith.
