An accident
of fate? Or my destiny? Or both. I feel honored to be able to humbly make this
request of you and your time.
I have
met a true hero. A Hero of our lifetime whom nature has allowed to remain so we
can give her the recognition she deserves, and so she can help move us into a
world based on love.
Amelia
Boynton Robinson, the last of the civil rights pioneers of our 20th century, will have a birthday
celebration to re-introduce herself to us in order to promote and make you
aware of the legacy she wishes to leave to us, her children, her future.
This
celebration begins next month, May 11th at the Riverside Cathedral in NYC. The place where her fellow
pioneer and friend Martin Luther King made his famous speech, the man she
convinced to come to Selma Alabama in 1963 to help her bring attention to the
inequities of our one race of different colors. America, a land divided by
ignorance and fear. This March is where she lost her husband to violence and
the nation was awakened to the truth of what we allowed to be swept under the
carpet of our minds.
Amelia
had been registering black voters to vote since 1921 to almost no success,
because of what society placed in front of her desires. Since that time, Amelia
has been, non-stop, promoting social justice and non-violence. She sees that we
are capable of a world of love based on non-violence and equality. Her mission
is to instill this mentality and action within the youth of today, to become
the leaders of tomorrow.
Take a
moment to go to our site, http://www.Trailblazers4Justice.org. There you
will see who Amelia is, what her last goals are and what we are going to do to
help spread the seed she planted, and continues to plant, in her long and
loving lifetime.
Please
do take the time to view the site, share it with your family, friends,
neighbors & colleagues, and come to the event if you can. And if not,
please make a donation to keep her mission living through her Village of Hope –
Tuskegee foundation. Our goal is to spread this message around our great
nation, state by state. Just like any rock show based on love and mutual
support.
Thank
you for taking the time to read this personal message & thank you for your
consideration.
Your friend,
Steven Machat
