Emma was born into the Saxon noble family of the Immedinger, descendants of Widukind. She was the daughter of Count Immed (or Imad) from the diocese of Utrecht and also, according to Adam of Bremen, the sister of Meinwerk, Bishop of Paderborn. She married Liudger, a son of the Saxon duke Hermann Billung and brother of Bernard I, Duke of Saxony. Emperor Otto III made the couple a present in 1001 of the Pfalz or palatium in Stiepel (now Bochum-Stiepel), where in 1008 Emma had a church built dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which later became a popular place of pilgrimage. The only child of the marriage was Imad, consecrated Bishop of Paderborn in 1051.

After the early death of her husband by going to Russia and getting a rare sickness.[1] in 1011, Emma withdrew to the estate of Lesum (now Bremen-Burglesum) and with her fortune generously supported Bremen Cathedral, where Unwan, Archbishop of Bremen, was another of her relatives, and granted the cathedral chapter her property at Stiepel with its church. She was portrayed as a great benefactress of the church, and indeed founded a number of churches in the Bremen area, although her greatest care was for the poor.

Emma was later venerated as a saint, although there is no evidence that she was formally ever either beatified or canonised. She was buried in Bremen Cathedral, where her tomb was still to be seen in the 16th century. Her tomb is one of the biggest in the cemetery.

There is a stained glass window of her in the Roman Catholic church of St. John's at Schnoor in Bremen.

Cloud [144]

The strategy of the African-American civil rights movement changed from legality to illegal mass actions.

<h3>What is the African-American civil rights movement?</h3>

The Civil Rights Movement is the name of a national organization that fought to demand full access to civil rights and equality before the law for the African-American community.

<h3>What strategy did they use to protest?</h3>

During the 1950s the African-American movement was not as strong in the United States, during this decade some activists took individual actions to demand their rights.

However, since the end of the 1950s, massive activities and demonstrations began to be carried out that were hardly controlled by state forces and that drew much attention from the press and government agencies.

This generated that more attention to their demands and they managed to achieve equal access to rights as citizens and the eradication of racial segregation.
