Violence drove a Denver man to flee his native Somalia. Today he heads the Somali American Culture Center and watches the violence from afar, gathering aid for victims of this month’s grisly bombings in Mogadishu. Then, celebrated Denver choreographer Cleo Parker Robinson has broken a lot of barriers as a black dancer. Her late father was also a trailblazer, and he's the inspiration for her latest show. Plus, a Boulder man collects some of his best stories behind the wheel of a big rig, including a white-knuckle drive down Loveland Pass. And, award-winning children’s author Avi, who lives in Steamboat Springs, sits down with a young reader.
