Resources
Teachers and students can re-visit a significant historical event for Colorado and the nation, while applying the perspective of a new century. When History Happens will provide teachers the opportunity to find, access, and use primary sources from the Library of Congress' American Memory Web site, and the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection. Visit the resource galleries below to take a unique peek at the times through primary sources.
