CAN WIN
Speaker:Amelia Boynton Robinson
Civil Rights Heroine and Vice Chairman of the Schiller
Institute
Amelia Boynton Robinson, author of "Through the Years" and "Bridge Across
Jordan" has
been called the "grandmother" of the voting rights movement. Already in the
1930's she and
her husband, William Boynton, were registering hundreds of African-Americans
to vote in
Selma, Alabama. In March, 1965, Mrs. Boynton was in the forefront of the march
from Selma
to Montgomery, known later as "Bloody Sunday", where she was brutally beaten
and left
unconscious on the Edmond Pettus Bridge. Today she continues the fight against
tyranny
internationally, as Vice-Chairman of the Board of the Schiller Institute. She
is also on the
board of the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and was
the 1990
recipient of the Martin Luther King Freedom Medal.
