September 25, 2007 (LPAC) -- Aarhus Stiftstidende, one of the two major papers in Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, has a
big beautiful picture of Amelia Boynton Robinson, the US civil rights heroine and Schiller Institute leader. The accompanying text covers half of their front page, with another half-page inside, with a headline: "A Lifetime Battle." The picture is captioned: "Civil Rights. In the '60s, she fought with Martin Luther King."
The main article by Henrik Havbaek Madsen tells about her life fighting for civil rights and against hate. It starts out by saying that she was bleeding and left for dead on a bridge in Selma, Alabama, after a police attack on protesters that became known as Bloody Sunday. Three months ago, she went to the funeral of the man who treated her so mercilessly, because she is not capable of hating, despite the fact that she has experienced more hate then most.
The article says that Mrs. Robinson "is in Aarhus because she has a mission: To tell the world that it is in a mournful condition." People have 3-4 jobs to try to make ends meet, and "the big oligarchs hold people down and in ignorance." There is hate in the U.S. South because white children are told not to play with the black children, she said. They live separately and that begets hate. She, however, has freed herself from hate. "I love everyone. And that is my secret."
A box reports on Amelia's fight for black civil rights since the '30s and her work with Martin Luther King Jr.
