Aside from a guest commentary in the Denver Post on Saturday, major Denver media largely ignored a march to protest the jailhouse death of inmate Marvin Booker one year ago. But Booker’s family continues to call for a federal investigation — and plenty of people remain passionate about the issue, as seen in images captured by Westword photographer Brandon Marshall. Look below to see a sampling from our slideshow, as well as a video provided by the ACLU of Colorado.

Michael Roberts began his career with Westword in 1990 as music editor. In 1999, he took on a new role, full-time media reporter, as author of a column called The Message. In 2008, he became the lead writer for Westword‘s news blog, The Latest Word, a position he held until January 2023. Michael continues to freelance for Westword, covering everything from business to sports and the media; he also contributes to Jazziz, a national music magazine. He holds a bachelor’s degree from what is now Colorado Mesa University and master’s degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Northwestern University.
