At the 4th Annual Women’s March
As a part of the 4th annual Women’s March on January 18, 2020, the Suffrage Centennial Celebration Committee joined nearly 200 women, men, and children on Ocean City’s Boardwalk to celebrate women’s rights, to advocate for policies that protect women and families, and to register people to vote. The centennial group was formed last year to plan commemorative events leading up to August 26, 2020, marking the 100th year anniversary of passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, proclaiming women’s right to vote. Throughout the year, the group will be honoring the suffragist pioneers whose brave fight and severe sacrifices brought about this landmark moment in our Country’s history.
