Last year, Wil Haygood, best-selling author and prize-winning journalist, came to Toledo to discuss his article-turned-film-turned-book, The Butler: A Witness to History, based on the life of Thurgood Marshall. Now, Haygood returns to discuss his latest release, Tigerland 1968-1969: A City Divided, a Nation Torn Apart and a Magical Season of Healing, a historical account of the two teens from an all-black high school in Columbus who won Ohio’s basketball and baseball championships during the 1968-1969 school year. Hear from the Ohio-native during a special open book, where he will talk about this inspiring story of success in the face of racial turbulence. Presented by the Toledo Lucas County Public Library.
