Julian Rubinstein will speak about and sign his new book, The Holly, on Wednesday, June 30th at 6:30pm at Boulder Book Store.About the Book:On the last evening of summer in 2013, five shots rang out in a part of northeast Denver known as the Holly. Long a destination for African American families fleeing the Jim Crow South, the area had become an “invisible city” within a historically white metropolis. While shootings there weren’t uncommon, the identity of the shooter that night came as a shock. Terrance Roberts was a revered anti-gang activist. His attempts to bring peace to his community had won the accolades of both his neighbors and the state’s most important power brokers. Why had he just fired a gun? In The Holly, the award-winning Denver-based journalist Julian Rubinstein reconstructs the events that left a local gang member paralyzed and Roberts facing the possibility of life in prison. Much more than a crime story, The Holly is a multigenerational saga of race and politics that runs from the civil rights movement to Black Lives Matter. _________________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION*Tickets are $5 (plus a small convenience fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of The Holly, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
