Bringing to light the erasure of Denver’s old Chinatown, which in 1880, was destroyed overnight when a violent mob composed of 10% of Denver’s population at the time, incited by partisan political rhetoric and anti-Asian prejudice, stormed the immigrant neighborhood, beating, looting and lynching Chinese residents. Through storytelling, historical documents, and imaginative use of AI / AR technologies, the tour will explore the downtown streets between Wazee and Larimer, once home to the biggest Chinatown of the Rocky Mountain region. The timing of the Denver Riot contributed to the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and broader restrictions on Chinese immigration to the United States that persisted for over 100 years. In light of upcoming elections, we will come together to think about the partisan nature of anti-immigrant propaganda, and re-imagine Denver as a sanctuary city without racial prejudice.
