   Speaking of 100 years ago, it was in 1908 that the last Democratic National Convention took place in Denver, and now, 100 years later, it is again happening in Denver. We have some exciting things happening for educators and students, as you can see if you go to the “When History Happens” Web site: http://www.whenhistoryhappens.org/. If you click on Resources, you can view lots of primary sources related to 1908, including a few newspaper articles. Several organizations have helped put together the When History Happens program, including Teaching with Primary Sources–Colorado (an educational outreach program of the Library of Congress) and the Denver Newspaper Agency, among others.
