COLORADO SPRINGS — Exactly one year after the death of George Floyd, communities across the country are still mourning and feeling the impacts of what happened, including communities local to southern Colorado.
However, several people that KOAA News5 spoke to said despite what happened, the tragic events have helped open doors for larger conversations about inclusiveness and diversity in our area.
"After the Black Lives Matters, people wanted to be more inclusive and learn more, so of course they're going to come to their library to get books, videos, and periodicals," said Shirley Martinez, who works for the Pikes Peak Library District. "People wanted all of those things to better understand what's happening around them and what's trending."
