This week on Regional Roundup, we explore efforts to rename sections of a Colorado highway in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We also hear from a Utah academic who draws parallels between efforts to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the state and historical resistance to racial integration at public swimming pools.
Finally, we examine how communities across the Rocky Mountain West are collaborating to manage wildfire risks.
Stories include:
- A conversation with Colorado State Representative Junie Joseph on her push to rename part of a highway in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King. (KGNU)
- A conversation with Dr. Tamara Stevenson chief diversity officer at Westminster University in Salt Lake City on attempts to restrict DEI programs and staff at public colleges in Utah (KRCL)
- A conversation with Brett Wolk of the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute and Jamie Gomez with the West Region Wildfire Council on collaborative ways to manage wildfire. (KVNF)
