After moving to Denver in 1958, Morris E. Cole became the city’s first African-American district court judge for the city and county of Denver.Re: “,” May 22 obituary.
I was so moved by your obituary for Judge Morris E. Cole that I couldn’t wait to discuss it with family members and friends.
Despite an impoverished childhood, Judge Cole worked hard, served his country, sought out and achieved an education, broke new ground in his profession, and instilled the same work ethic and values in his successful children.
His story is truly inspiring. Would that he were alive, well and running for president.
