Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and Julian Bond, Civil Rights Activist. The com- munity members were greeted by MLK committee members, thanking them for coming to this celebration on a bitter winter day. The students in the audience completed a Civil Rights Bingo and were able to win prizes when they re- ceived Bingo. They were shown a PowerPoint comparing the leadership of Rev. Dr. King and Mr. Bond. The members discovered that Dr. King and Mr. Bond believed in equality, voting rights for all people, and advocating for the right for peaceful protest. Julian Bond passed August 15, 2015, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The theme for the day was Women in the Civil Rights Movements. The community had a chance to view a living museum highlighting outstanding women who were strong activists in the Civil Rights era. The program honored Dorothy Cotton, who was played by Mrs. Barbara Dorsey, former educator and a resi- dent of Carroll County. Dorothy Cotton was the highest ranking female in the Southern Christian Leader- ship Conference (SCLC) founded by Dr. King. Amelia Boynton Robinson was another honoree who was portrayed by Dr. Tira Naru, an elementary teacher at Sandymount Elementary School. Amelia Boynton Robinson, Civil Rights Matriarch, was one of 600 people to attempt to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. Mrs. Martha (Sally) Greene, a retired nurse, gave an overview of Fannie Lou Hamer’s involvement in the Civil Rights Era. Fannie Lou Hamer’s famous quote was, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Ms. Lynn Wheeler, Director of Carroll County Public Library, also gave an overview of Viola Gregg Liuzzo, who was the first white woman to be killed for the cause of Civil Rights. Her famous quote was “(We’re) going to change the world. One day they’ll write about us. You’ll see.” For seven years, ‘A Day On Not A Day Off” has always engaged in community service. This year’s com- munity service project involved making inspirational cards for the residents at Golden Living. Everyone was truly grateful to receive the cards. Finally, the attendees learned Civil Rights songs by Shelly Ensor who is a professor of music at McDaniel College. The group had heard the song performed in other ways, but Shelly introduced the group to a new rendition of “This Little Light of Mine.” The group sounded wonderful. Shelly Ensor is an awesome teach- er! Next year we will focus on the 50th Anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. NAACP Chapter 7014 Hosted the Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Breakfast The Carroll County NAACP held their annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast on Saturday, January 9th with guest speaker Genealogist and His- torian, Mr. Percy White, III. Mr. White challenged attendees, especially the youth, to discover more about their ancestors by doing five things: 1. Ask the elders in your family the names of your ancestors. For example, ask your oldest living relative for their parents, grandparents, and great- grandparents names. 2. Talk to your elders about the places and events in their history. 3. Learn your family’s oral history. 4. Learn how your ancestors gained their freedom and IF they were en- slaved. 5. Know the United States history AND the African-American histories. Mrs. Virginia Harrison, Carroll County School Board Member, gave the open- ing remarks. Mrs. Angela Gustus, the Executive Director of Human Services Programs of Carroll County, did an excellent job as the Mistress of Ceremo- ny for the event. Pastor Darrell Davis of Uniontown United Methodist Church led a powerful invocation and moving benediction that tied into the speaker's message. The branch presented an informative power point on the winners of their an- nual "Living the Dream" award - Quinton Allen, Anu Olawale, Victor Paylor, Jordan Wabo, and Tre Woodyard. These youth are doing some wonderful things in the community and academically. The Carroll County Times did a cover story and a video featuring all of the "Living the Dream" award win- ners!

Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60616 [email protected] www.thehistorymakers.com Creator: Robinson, Amelia Boynton, 1911- Title: The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History Interview with Amelia Boynton Robinson, Dates: September 4, 2007 Bulk Dates: 2007 Physical 7 Betacame SP videocasettes (3:24:55). Description: Abstract: Civil rights leader Amelia Boynton Robinson (1911 - 2015 ) was one of the civil rights leaders that led the famous first march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which became known as Bloody Sunday. She was also the first African American woman ever to seek a seat in Congress from Alabama. Robinson was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on September 4, 2007, in Tuskegee, Alabama. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2007_244 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Civil rights pioneer Amelia Boynton Robinson was born on August 18, 1911, in Savannah, Georgia. As a young lady, Robinson became very active in women’s suffrage. In 1934, at the age of twenty-three, Robinson became one of the few registered African American voters. In an era where literacy tests were used to discriminate against African Americans seeking to vote, Robinson used her status as a registered voter to assist other African American applicants to become registered voters. In 1930, while working as a home economics teacher in the rural south, Robinson became re-acquainted with Sam William Boynton, an extension agent for the county whom she had met while studying at Tuskegee Institute.
