Author Ann Butler was a mother of five who lived a double life. She used disguises, a Glock gun concealed in her purse, license plates swapped in the dead of night, aliases, and international moves. Amazingly, she once gave birth in the midst of a covert mission.

Walters Way: Coach, His Runners, and His Race, is the intimate biography of Wilbert Walters, who followed the Great Migration North from New Orlean and founded Aurora Sundowners Track Club. His dream was to turn vulnerable black youth into proud women and men achieving their own potential. Coach Walters learned what it was like to be invisible in one world while his athletes were winning National Junior Olympic medals in another. His story holds up a mirror to 20th century Aurora history. Civil Rights on the national stage meant bombastic events and changes. Black Aurorans were working quietly to break down local systemic barriers, while White Aurora prided itself on being free of racism. The book’s author will lead discussions on how we experience race relations. What has changed in Aurora and what has not?

Walters Way: A Coach, His Runners and His Race By Maureen McKane (REQUIRED) Book can be purchased at the Waubonsee Bookstore or your favorite bookstore. The book is also available at local libraries.
