On Saturday, February 11, 2017, several members of Concerned Citizens of Tillery (CCT) traveled to Raleigh to join with the other many thousands who came to participate in the HKonJ. It was great weather for a march and the energy was high as participants hosted their signs on various issues. CCT was one of the first organizations to join the march back in 2006 and has had some representation in the marches from the organization  in  most of the marches since that time.

CCT is grateful to the contributors who supported the building fund during the CCT 33rd Holiday Fellowship Hour and Kwanzaa Celebration:
