But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:

Today, we take you back to October 22nd, 1976 when two teams from the defunct American Basketball Association, the Pacers and the Nuggets, met in Indiana for their first game as members of the NBA. The Denver Nuggets defeated the Pacers 123 to 110. 

Now, our feature story. 

Denver Public Schools are looking to better serve their diverse student population through adding racially inclusive histories and knowledge to every part of the curriculum.

Colorado Sun staff writer Lucy Haggard has more on what would be the first initiative of its kind in the state.

Thanks so much Lucy. And as Lucy mentioned you can visit ColoradoSun.com to stay updated on the story and the upcoming Denver Public Schools board meeting.

Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today:

Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order on Wednesday banning Colorado landlords from evicting tenants who can prove financial hardship because of the coronavirus crisis.

NASA’s first mission to touch an asteroid and collect a sample of pristine space dirt is now viewable in high-resolution images sent overnight Tuesday from 200 million miles away.

Denver voters could give the city a unique tool for fighting climate change that is unlike strategies pursued by other U.S. cities. Ballot measure 2A would use the proceeds from a dedicated sales tax increase to raise roughly $40 million a year to invest in renewable energy, clean transportation, and energy efficiency.

A Colorado child protection caseworker is under investigation for falsifying reports about checking on kids and at-risk adults. 

Amid a historic public health crisis, something curious has happened with health insurance prices... Nothing.
