It included a photographic exhibit from the personal collection of Dr. Raúl Ruíz, whose forthcoming book, Silver Dollar Death: The Murder of Ruben Salazar, asks the question: “Why did Ruben Salazar, an American newsman, husband and father have to die covering a domestic news story?”Dr. Ruíz presented his research at a public event at the CSRC Library on August 29, 2012, in conjunction with the exhibition.
