U.S. Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-SC) will be the featured speaker at NAACP’s 52nd Nov. 22 Freedom Fund Banquet at Par-A-Dice Hotel and Conference Center in East Peoria.
The event – “All in for Justice and Equality” – will start at 6:30 p.m., with dinner at 7.
The House of Representatives’ Assistant Democratic Leader, Clyburn is “one of a handful of people who, when they speak, the entire Congress listens,” according to President Barack Obama.
Tickets to the Freedom Fund Banquet – the Peoria NAACP’s main fund raiser for the year – are available by phoning (309) 672-6344, 637-1010, or 530-6253.
