Students asking for help bringing $75,000 Black history curriculum to their school After advocating for Black history curriculum in Denver Public Schools, four students are nearing their goal.

Author: Lori Lizarraga Updated: 7:08 PM MST February 17, 2021 DENVER — After a year and a half advocating for Black history curriculum in Denver Public Schools, four Denver students are the closest they have ever been to accomplishing that goal. Now, they are calling on community partners to help fund this progress. Kaliah Yizar (15), Dahni Austin (16), Alana Mitchell (17) and Janelle Nangah (18) are all students at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Early College (DMLK) in Denver. Since 2019, the four young ladies have been hard at work to bring a more inclusive account of American History to their school through the Black History 365 curriculum.
