NC House Speaker Thom Tillis Runs From NC NAACP President William Barber

Published on Apr 9, 2013

April 9th, 2013 - After spending time talking to other citizens, North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis runs to avoid having to speak to NAACP President William J. Barber, II for the second time in one day. When the News & Observer asked about the first escape, the Speaker's office said that "Tillis and Barber spoke later in the day when they crossed paths on the third floor of the legislative building". The NAACP responded to that statement by calling it an "outright lie". This is the video record of that third floor "meeting" as outlined below:
0:22 While Speaker Tillis converses with other citizens, Rev. Barber can be seen getting off the elevator and receiving a hug.
0:38 Rev. Barber calls to Speaker Tillis (twice).
0:45 Videographer Eric Preston continuously asks the Tillis why he won't speak with Rev. Barber until the Speaker disappears into his office.

NC NAACP and the HKonJ People's Assembly To Lobby General Assembly

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 8, 2013

For More Information:           Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, President, 919-394-8137

                                               Mrs. Amina J. Turner, Executive Director, 919-682-4700

For Media Assistance:            Rob Stephens, Field Secretary, 336-577-9335

 

RALEIGH - The North Carolina NAACP and the Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HKonJ) coalition that mobilized over 17,000 people on a Saturday morning in February outside the NC General Assembly, are coming back on a weekday--tomorrow--to petition the government directly for redress of grievances.  

            "We hold our annual People's Assembly on Saturday--because ordinary people work for a living and can't come in from across our wide state to meet with their representatives on working days," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, President of the NC NAACP and its more than 100 Adult, College and Youth units of the NAACP across the state.  "We hold our People of ALL Colors Legislative Day on Tuesday, when our Representatives are in town."

            The grassroots volunteer lobbyists will meet in the sanctuary of the historic First Baptist Church, 101 S. Wilmington Street (corner of Morgan and Wilmington Streets) in Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 9:00 am.
