About this Event

You Are Cordially Invited to the Kankakee County Branch NAACP Annual Banquet

Theme: The Fierce Urgency of NOW!

Join us for an evening of empowerment, unity, and purpose as we gather to celebrate progress, honor resilience, and ignite action. This year’s banquet centers around a powerful call to action—“The Fierce Urgency of NOW!”—a reminder that the time to stand for justice, equity, and community is not tomorrow, but today.

Together, we will reflect on the strides we’ve made, recognize those who lead with courage, and recommit ourselves to the work that lies ahead. Your presence will not only uplift this occasion but also strengthen the collective voice of change in Kankakee County and beyond.
