Free Press staff report | 4/24/2025, 6 p.m.
The Atrium of the Oliver Hill Courts Building will be filled with reflection and celebration Friday, April 25, as the Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court hosts its 28th Annual Oliver Hill Day. The event, honoring the legacy of civil rights icon Oliver White Hill, Sr., will mark a day of remembrance and recognition in close proximity to Hill’s birthday and the American Bar Association’s National Law Day.
This year’s theme, “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One,” will be highlighted during a program with remarks from Richmond Mayor Danny Avula. The event also will include the presentation of the Oliver Hill Day Art and Media contest winners, showcasing the talents of local middle and high school students.
Judge Marilynn C. Goss, a member of the Oliver Hill Day Planning Committee, said the event not only celebrates Hill’s legacy but also “honors those who, in the spirit of Oliver Hill, make significant contributions to the law and for the Commonwealth of Virginia.”
A reception will follow the program. For more information, visit vacourts.gov.
