In this segment from www.BlackSlaveRevolts.com Map II, which highlights acts of resistance by Black people across the world, Dr. Ife Williams shares the powerful story of Amelia Boynton Robinson.
Amelia Boynton Robinson (1911–2015) was a civil rights leader and voting rights activist. She played a key role in the Selma Voting Rights Movement and was brutally beaten on “Bloody Sunday” in 1965, an event that helped lead to the Voting Rights Act. She dedicated her life to fighting for equality and justice.
