Organizers of the historic Atlantic City Women’s March are pleased to announce the return of the Atlantic City Women’s March honoring the life and legacy of the late Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver. The family of the late Lt. Governor will be in attendance. The march and rally will take place on Saturday May 18, 2024 beginning at 10 AM for the march and 12 Noon for the rally in Jim Whelan Hall.
The rally features a dynamic and diverse line up of empowering speakers, including a keynote address by Ms. Terry Tucker, former Chief of Staff and confidant to Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver.
In 2019, Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver was the keynote speaker at the first Atlantic City Women’s March which had an all Black Women Steering Committee and paid tribute to Mississippi civil rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer. The rally then and this year takes place in the same room where Fannie Lou Hamer shut down the credentials committee of the Democratic National Convention in 1964. Black Women’s voices will be heard.
“As the first Black woman to hold statewide elected office, Lt. Gov. Oliver has a powerful legacy of being a relentless fighter for social and racial justice,” said veteran national political organizer and Atlantic City Women’s March Committee Co-Chair Stephenine Dixon. “2024 is due to be another year where women will mobilize and demonstrate their political power. We will follow in Lt. Gov. Oliver’s courageous footsteps by doing the work to organize our communities and being a force for change.”
