Last week an icon in Aurora passed away. Civil Rights leader Marie Wilkinson was 101 when she died, leaving behind a life that is an inspiration to everyone that follows her.
She was an amazing woman that moved to Aurora from New Orleans in her twenties and began making her mark on the city right away.
I won't go into to much detail here because our writer, Andre Salles did an amazing job covering the funeral and his story will do much more justice than anything I could ever write, check it out HERE.
With this being such a big story in our area, Jonathan Miano from the Naperville Sun (and fellow WKU'er) volunteered to lend a hand and helped cover the funeral with me. (HUGE thank you Jonathan.)
It is always a relief to have another shooter there, and I think the benefit can be seen in the final products.
The big debate of the day came over the cover image. Here are two mock ups of the cover but before I explain and tell what ran, I want to see what you guys think... Which one do you like?
