Amelia


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
