DENVER — The 2023 Denver Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Marade included a bike tour along several locations that celebrate Black history in the city.
This year, it was even bigger with the addition of a bike tour across historic landmarks in Denver to tell the story of those who participated in the fight for justice, equality and equity. Assistant Fire Chief Greg Pixley gave Denver7 a tour of the firehouse, located in the heart of Denver's Five Points neighborhood.
Historic Fire Station No. 3 in Five Points is the smallest and oldest active fire station in Denver. It was a segregated station and the only one where Black firefighters could work until 1957.
