After 2 years of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights is excited to announce that our Biennial Civil Rights & Fair Housing Gala Celebration has been rescheduled to Saturday, August 20, 2022, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm at the Maryland Live! Hotel Ballroom in Hanover, Maryland. Originally slated for Saturday, April 25, 2020, the Gala Celebration will honor the remarkable milestones commemorating 100 years of the women's right to vote, as well as 30 years of protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Our keynote speaker for the evening is civil rights icon and former Chairperson of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission Dr. Mary Frances Berry. During the program, we will also honor the work and lifetime achievements of 6 trailblazing women from Maryland.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
