The city of Denver is not interested in preserving white history.
On December 21, 2020, the Denver City Council unanimously voted in favor of legislation to rename Columbus Park as La Raza Park.
La Raza means “the race” and is usually a term that Hispanic activists use to define themselves as a separate group from the rest of normal America. This name change reflects the slogan the Chicano movement used during the 1960s and 1970s, when they routinely chanted “Viva la raza” (Long live the race).
