Colorado's newly-appointed state historian, William Wei, says democratic governments are facing the worst crisis since the 1930's and he hopes to get Coloradans thinking about threats to democracy at home and abroad. Wei also served as state historian from 2019-2020 and is an expert in Chinese history, Asian immigrant history in Colorado, and the author of "Asians in Colorado: A History of Persecution and Perseverance in the Centennial State."
