🇺🇸 Black History Is American History

This memorable photograph of civil rights activist Amelia Boynton Robinson (August 18, 1905 – August 26, 2015), who was beaten unconscious on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the day known as "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, shocked the world and changed history.

Fifty years later on March 7, 2015, President Barack Obama walked across that same bridge to commemorate the history and progress made over those five decades. Amelia, who was still alive but in a wheelchair, proudly crossed that bridge hand-in-hand with the First Black President of the United States.

Sadly, Amelia passed away five months later, but GOD blessed her to live long enough to go to the mountaintop and see some of the benefits that came out of her personal sacrifice, and many others, all those years ago. Whether or not you want to hear it, know it, read it, or see it... Black History is not going anywhere.
