There is a large contingent of immigrants in the Galesburg area from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The country celebrates it’s independence day on June 30 each year. Some local residents decided to share their culture and celebration of Lipanda Day at Park Plaza on Saturday July 2. Yannick Kapita Katanga, Josue Bashombe and Anthony Law joined Tom Meredith and Tyler Gumm on “Galesburg’s Morning News” to talk about their home country and the celebration.
