Jennifer Carroll will be inaugurated as Florida's lieutenant governor on Tuesday, January 4. Since she is Florida's first black person to hold the position, there are activities to honor the conservative Republican's achievement. Florida A&M University, a historically black university, and Lawson Associates will sponsor a black-tie reception in honor of Lt. Governor-Elect Jennifer Carroll on Sunday, Jan. 2, in Tallahassee, Fla. "This reception is an opportunity to welcome Mrs. Carroll to FAMU, the campus and the Tallahassee community,” “FAMU congratulates Mrs. Carroll on her historic election,” FAMU President James H. Ammons said in a statement. “It is a real honor to co-host this reception for Lt. Governor-Elect Jennifer Carroll, the first African-American woman to serve as lieutenant-governor for the state of Florida,” Alfred Lawson said. “This is such a historical affair. I am honored to be a part of this celebration.”
The event will be held in the Alfred Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center and Teaching Gymnasium on FAMU's campus. The reception is open to the public and the doors will open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person. For more information, call 850/222-1286.
