DENVER - The Ohio House Democratic Caucus is holding a lunch reception at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, which caucus spokesperson Phil Saken called a "jewel" of Denver.

Saken said that the location was picked for several reasons, including it being a landmark in the city of Denver. Saken also said the exhibits, space and appropriateness of the venue contributed to its selection.

Saken said the venue was appropriate as House Speaker Joyce Beatty (D-Columbus) is the first African American Ohio House leader. The venue features several exhibits, including a walk-through history of the African American experience.

Tables are set up in a room featuring the quilts selected from the Rocky Mountain Wa Shonaji Quilt Guild. The guild was formed in 1994 by "a group of five African American women interested in perpetuating the heritage of quilting.

The walk-through exhibit recounts the history of the African American experience in Denver and throughout the West, including culture, music and art along Welton Street through the years. Welton Street is home to the library.

    Is Rahm Emanuel good for New York?

    Just about every story written about Rahm Emanuel since Barack Obama selected him to serve as White House chief of staff has described him as the tough Chicago operative who became the consummate Washington insider. But how sensitive will the bulldog at Mr. Obama’s gate be to New York interests?

    Who's afraid of a filibuster?

    Nobody can doubt that the Republicans in the Senate will obstruct as soon as that seems politically safe. Right-wing pundits, from Rush Limbaugh to the Wall Street Journal editorial page are already egging them on furiously. But is there enough muscle behind that filibuster threat to block Mr. Obama’s mandate?

    Democrats still can't win the South, but it doesn't matter

    Something funny happened last week: A liberal Democrat from Chicago, running on a ticket with a liberal from Delaware, won the White House by a comfortable margin. And while Barack Obama did actually win three states in the South, his triumph should do away with the notion that a “Southern strategy” is essential to the Democratic Party’s long-term viability at the presidential level.
