This historical exhibit developed by Lafayette Arts & Cultural Resources Department examines the events in Lafayette, Colorado from the 1930s, when the first Lafayette Swimming Pool was built and then shuttered. The exhibit, which features extensive research and photographs, highlights the brave efforts of Latina Rose Lueras, who fought for civil rights and justice in Lafayette in the 1930s.
