This video was filmed in Denver on May 19th, 2020. The Radiant Apartments and the Arapahoe Square Apartments, which are featured in the video, are located in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Five Points. In the first half of the 20th century, Five Points was known as the “Harlem of the West,” with a predominantly Black American population. Today, the neighborhood is majority white.
