State Sen. Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) recently shared her assessment of the 2022 Freedom Banquet in Carbondale.
“Great evening at the 2022 NAACP Freedom Banquet, Carbondale, Illinois,” she posted on Facebook. “This year my friend Marilyn Tipton was honored.”
The NAACP banquet at the Carbondale Civic Center featured dinner and a message from Ron Bullock, who was the evening’s speaker. Tipton was honored for her contributions to the community as well. Bullock is the president and CEO of Fresh Perspectives.
The theme of the event was "Lift Every Voice." The event was sold out, and it was the first public gathering of the Carbondale branch of the NAACP in about two and a half years since the COVID-19 pandemic prompted limits on such events.
Bryant ran unopposed in the June 28 primary, moving up from the House, where she had served for several years.
