Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library was the brain child of Denver, Colorado's first African American mayor, Wellington Webb, and his wife Wilma Webb, who felt that the history of African-Americans in Denver and the American west was underrepresented. The library was first envisioned in 1999 and designated the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library in honor of Omar Blair, the first black president of the Denver school board, and Elvin Caldwell, the first black City Council member. Ground breaking began in early 2002.
