Amelia Boynton Robinson Schiller Institute Vice Chairwoman Civil Rights Heroine |
![]() |
Mrs. Amelia Platts Boynton Robinson is a former Vice Chairwoman of the International Schiller Institute (retired in 2009). She is an author, playwright, speaker and organizer, although she is most well known as a veteran of the original American Civil Rights Movement, having been beaten and gassed at the march on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. That march awakened America's sleeping conscience, and mobilized the nation to apply the US Constitution to all its citizens, with the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This remarkable woman, affectionately and respectfully known as just "Amelia" throughout the world, continues her international tours at age 96 (as of August 2007), speaking out publicly for justice, and inspiring people of all ages, nations, and backgrounds. Below you will find a list of links to articles and audio files covering some of her activities.
