Elgin city hall display honors Gilliam

Elgin's city hall now features a memorial display honoring former Councilman Bob Gilliam. The display was installed Thursday.

The city last year renamed the municipal complex after Gilliam, the first black and longest-serving council member in the city's history. The wall displays photos, plaques, personal items, campaign memorabilia and more.

A formal dedication will be held sometime next year.
