Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP Washington Bureau, speaks Saturday, Sept. 2, at the Mar-Saline Branch's annual Freedom Fund Banquet. Shelton urged the audience to remain focused on the organizations values of justice and freedom when voting in the November election and not be distracted by emotional issues that are not central to that mission.
