Denver's Vietnamese community marks Colorado historic designation of Far East Center, which honors their refugee history and the history and cultures of other Asian countries
A shopping center started by Vietnamese refugees in the Westwood neighborhood of Denver has just been added to the state register of historic properties.
Far East Center's Lunar New Year Initiative 2024 honors culture and tradition in the first year Colorado observes the Lunar New Year as a state holiday.
The state's Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities hope the state holiday promotes inclusivity, diversity of the AAPI community and their cultures.
