Just a small point about the photograph. It's standard publishing practice, when publishing a photograph of a person, to have them looking toward the page, not away from it. So if they're looking to the left, their photo is placed on the right, and vice versa, which means that Amelia Boynton Robinson's photo should be on the right of this page. The theory is that a photograph of someone looking away from the page draws the reader's' eye away from the page too. Slim 06:25, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

I moved the photo to the left to make room for the template on the right. It is possible to flip the image, if it matters that much. Or you can try another arrangement. Cheers, -Willmcw 06:30, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm not that bothered, Will, so I'll just leave it. I found a link for a Birmingham News story about the lawsuit, so I've added it. I didn't delete any of the other links, but feel free to delete whatever you see fit if you feel there are now too many links after that sentence. Slim 06:44, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I can't see the picture anymore, and there really should be one of her and not just one of LaRouche on the top right - it's visually quite jarring. 128.86.153.202 12:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Medal

I can't find any reference for this line:

• Robinson was awarded the Martin Luther King, Jr. Foundation Medal of Freedom on July 21, 1990, by the New York State Martin Luther King, Jr. Foundation.

I can't find any "Martin Luther King, Jr. Foundation." and the only "Medal of Freedom" I can find is the Presidential one. I don't doubt that she got an award, but I suspect that the name of the foundation may be wrong. Could it have been the King Center that gave it? -Willmcw 07:48, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I took a look around for this a few weeks ago, and ended up deleting it, because I couldn't pin it down. Someone else put it back, and I couldn't be bothered to get into an edit war over it, so I left it. This is why I always bang on about references. If editors would just supply references . . . Don't get me started. :-) Where did the date come from, do you know? When I deleted it, there was no date, so someone has clearly pinned this down a little. I will look around again. Herschel should know as I believe he was the editor who inserted it (or possibly Weed). Slim 07:58, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

Here are some links to other people awarded the Martin Luther King, Jr Medal

• http://www.rowan.edu/news/person_of_the_week/?personid=77
• http://www.saints-prison-ministry.org/transition.html
• http://www.pennsauken.net/district/budget/recentsuccess.htm

They seem to be awarded by districts, not by a foundation, unless I'm misreading the stories (I'm a bit tired, so I might be). The July 21, 1990 date seems to come only from LaRouche publications and her autobiography, which was published by the Schiller Institute. I typed the date and her name into Google in case any news references surfaced, but again, they were all from LaRouche.

On another note, I found this while searching. It's from the UK Institute of Race Relations. Note that I have no idea how respectable that is. It talks about LaRouche becoming closer to Farrakhan and mentions Boynton Robinson endorsing LaRouche's candidacy. I probably wouldn't get into that myself in the article, but thought I'd send you the link in case you want to. Slim 08:18, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

Wow, good job! However, I suspect that those are different awards, seeing as they mostly seem to be given out by Camden County. If it was just something like that it'd hardly be notable. The King Center website is down, but the Google cache shows that they give an annual award, the Spirit Award. they have records going back to the 1980s, but no Robinson there either. [1]. The martin luther king foundation of new york may have been a come-and-go operation. I found one passing reference to such an organization, but it was dated.

Regarding the election, since Robinson is "closely related" to LaRouche it would be no surprise for her to endorse LaRouche. The surprise would be if she didn't. But that is a very interesting article. To the extent that the assertions regarding LaRouche and Farrakhan are correct they would probably belong in another article. Robinson is extremely marginalized in that article, though that may be due to the author's oversight, so I don't see a direct tie-in, unless we want to use this space to characterize LaRouche's racial policies. I think that would be inappropriate. Probably pPolitical views is the right place to bring this up, if it hasn't already been covered. Cheers, -Willmcw 09:10, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Since there's no way of knowing what the mysterious award really is, I am going to change the reference to something vague like, "She has received awards in recognition of her efforts." I don't doubt that she received an award, but I don't know what award she received and from whom. -Willmcw 08:30, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
