MINE EYES HAVE SEEN - Dr AMELIA BOYNTON - GYMINEYE
NOTES: Dr. Amelia Platts Boynton died recently at 104 years of age. She was known as the "Mother of Voting Rights". At age 9, in the 1920's, she and her mother rode around Alabama in a buggy trying to get women to vote. Her life as a civil rights and voting rights activist spanned 90 years--before and after Dr. King, Medgar, Malcolm, Abernathy, Lowery--ALL of them. It was the work of Amelia, Dr. C.T. Vivian, and Bernard Lafayette that caused the first attempt at a march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. Amelia was the reason Dr. King went to Selma. The photo of her beaten and gassed and left for dead on the Edmund Pettus Bridge was broadcast around the world and one of the reasons President Johnson sent troops to Alabama. Dr. Boynton was invited to the White House when Lyndon Johnson signed the voting rights act. This piece is a timeline of her life. I met her when my wife was working as her PR representative. Dr. Boynton signed the original artwork so her signature appears on all of the prints. If you love history, and appreciate the civil rights movement and want to honor those who came before, who made it possible for us to vote, this piece is for you..

Gilbert Young bio
Gilbert Young's support of various community activities and events in his native town of Cincinnati, Ohio spans over two decades. He was active there in both the artistic and scholastic arenas. Young served as Director and Conservator of the Fine Arts Collection for the University of Cincinnati for twenty-six years. He also served as Artist-in Residence for the University in 1994-1995. Dating back to 1975, this multi-talented, multi-faceted, internationally known artist has lent the use of his images and time to many community projects and organizations. Young served as a consultant to the Harriet Beecher Stowe House Project, a renovation and restoration project for the Harriet Beecher Stowe house, creating a cultural arts center for the visual and performing arts in Cincinnati. In 1991, when the Cincinnati branch of the National Council of Negro Women hosted its first "Black Family Reunion", Gilbert was asked to provide the image that would become the official poster of the event. He also lent the use of his image, "Inside Daddy's World" , to The Black Male Coalition of Greater Cincinnati, Inc. in 1995 as the cover of their brochure and one of his most profound works, a commissioned portrait of civil rights leader Dr. martin Luther King hangs in the lobby of University Hospital.
