Downtown Henderson is the backdrop for a community meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 3 and Charles J. “C.J.” Turrentine Jr. wants to spread the word to encourage attendance.
“We’re going to do a Town Hall meeting in Henderson – something that’s never been done before,” Turrentine told WIZS News.
“I’m encouraging…my generation and a lot of the Black community to come out,” he said, adding that the gathering is free and open to all, regardless of party affiliation.
The community meeting will be held at Southern Charm, 200 S. Garnett St. from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The meeting, he said, is designed “to break the barrier of Republican and Democrat, black and white.”
State Rep. Frank Sossamon is scheduled to take part in a question-and-answer session. According to a flyer publicizing the meeting, participants can place written questions in an issue box for Sossamon and others to answer.
“It’s going to be a great time for our community,” Turrentine said.
