Sept. 22 (LPAC)--Schiller Institute Vice Chairwoman Amelia Boynton Robinson, on tour in Europe after speaking at the Schiller Institute's Landbridge Conference in Kiedrich, Germany has taken the Denmark press by storm, appearing on three national TV programs - a 10-minute live interview on TV2 News, a 24-hour news station; a 2 minute segment on the regular TV2 widely seen 19:00 hour evening news; and a taped spot on the major national 9:00 PM evening news program on Denmark's DR TV1. While the short segments focused on Amelia's role as a heroine of the US Civil Rights Movement, asking for her view of the ongoing demonstrations in Jena, Louisiana, the longer, live program provided Amelia with the opportunity to draw the connections between the continuing civil rights problems in the U.S. and the economic devastation sweeping the country. She described the need for an FDR solution.

Amelia was identified as the Vice President of the Schiller Institute in the USA, and the anchorman concluded the interview by announcing the time and location for her public meeting next Thursday.

On the DR TV1 program, the narrator described the situation in Jena, saying that the demonstrations are looking more and more like those in the 1960s, where Amelia Boynton Robinson was in the front ranks, showing news clips of civil rights actions from that time, including the famous photo of Amelia left for dead on the road during the Selma campaign. Amelia said that racial relations were not better now than in the 1960s, because racism continues, just under the surface. She also said that her advice to the demonstrators was to use non-violent methods to fight for justice for all people.

Amelia's interviews also really touched the journalists and cameramen, with one spontaneously asking her to sign her book, one promising to come to her meeting, and to hang up the poster for her meeting in the news room. Another asked for a picture taken with Amelia.

Thus, in two days, Amelia, representing the Schiller Institute, has appeared on both of the two major national Danish TV stations, adding a new flank to the growing effect of the Schiller Institute campaign in Denmark, and radiating her commitment, warmth and love throughout the country.
