The story behind the naming of the Dalton Trumbo fountain

There is a fountain at the University of Colorado at Boulder that sits just next to the University Memorial Center and is almost always struck by sunlight. If you were to walk by it on any given day, you might be treated to a variety of opinions. It could be Evangelical Christians quoting scripture, or it could be the school’s Black Student Alliance standing in solidarity with advocacy groups at the University of Missouri.
Whatever the viewpoints are, and whatever yours might be, they’re all welcome in the fountain court. Since it was built, the fountain has been a haven of free expression and speech, devoid of censorship or ostracism. But what those advocates might not know is that there is a plaque that rests on a column just in front of the entrance of the UMC. That plaque is unknown to many, and holds the key to the v
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signs Ida s Law into law on April 20, 2021.
On Tuesday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a piece of legislation called Ida s Law. The bill is designed to help solve cases of missing and murdered Indigenous citizens in Oklahoma.
Senate Bill 172 is named after Ida Beard, a 29 year-old Cheyenne Arapaho citizen who went missing from El Reno in 2015. She has never been found.

Denver Returns 14 Bison To Tribal Land In Reparations, Conservation Effort By
at 11:57 am NPR
Fourteen American bison headed to their new homes on native land this month. Indigenous tribes received the bison from Denver Parks and Recreation as a form of reparations, the first gift in a 10-year ordinance to donate surplus bison that will also go toward tribal conservation efforts.
The bison came from the department s two conservation herds that descended from a handful of historic Yellowstone bison. Denver typically auctions off its surplus bison to avoid overgrazing, but there was still an excess after this year s auction in March.
