participation. germany then also became a colonial power ruling over tow go camera room, german, east africa, and german south west africa. even before the 19th century germans had been profiting from the slave trade. now colonist sees the entire territories, culminating in a genocide in the media in 19 o. 4. meanwhile, growing numbers of africans were arriving in germany. the probably akin is a british historian who researches the history of black europeans the the clooney outside of sophistic for the interesting colonial period is important for the emergence of a black community. asked them, i guess it was the 1st time that hundreds, if not thousands of black people were able to come to germany and of course on come con. why do you send us feel refreshing the claim for many different reasons. some i'm several 100 people, for instance, were brought over for the human zoos,

the turret, germany, or across europe in storage so much smoke and i found out from their 1st appearance in the 18 seventy's. these as an illogical expositions proved extremely popular with the european public at the hanover. so in 1913, the openings were hired as contract workers. they were put on display, often with their families. visitors paid an entrance fee to see them. as colonists were committing genocide in africa, back home in germany, the middle class were being one over to the so called colonial adventure d e d. and these are exhaustive sizes ation. romanticize ation. this idea of, let's take the family to the soon, like we know today north front instead of looking at animals. so here we get to see exotic people as a king of each month are going to accept these people when representing the own

culture. oh, communities, photos, and architect thompson is on on um, it was a stage spectacle and had nothing to do with who they actually was foster dog instead. fuss. i just got it to human. vicki hopkins, the, the 1st state organized colonial exhibition in germany, took place in 1896 and berlin, 106 men, women and children were brought in from german colonies. the photographs show how people were racially degraded and forced to be exhibited the plus builds. does the dodge of toenail colonial authorities wanted to portray africans as less civilized, as primitive stimulus he up? those came up t. what's inside an order? they wanted to use this image to legitimize germany's colonial project as well. yeah, there civilizing mission. a kazi does a civilizing mission, dodson thing,

the germans bringing culture and civilization to africans, including awfully con. the berlin was the capital of an overseas empire. the colonial administration needed craftsman, translators, and other specialized personnel. young africans were brought over to germany for training. most of the men and drawn from the african elite, some were still just the school children. and their parents paid considerable psalms for their education. the new arrivals called one another compatriots, but they were not for seen as a permanent part of german society, the in 1891 funding that the can travel to humble work from the wall a camera room. he came from a wealthy family and could already speak german cuban, completed an apprenticeship as a shoemaker, the android to essential. he was

calling in the black shame that propaganda in turn fueled racism against all black people across germany into a far more dangerous form. the but from the very start, there was resistance. in 1919, germany's 1st black trained driver my team, the bobo and other people of african descent, listed their demands, and a historic petition. the air boss on tire. dave was part of the anti colonial resistance, which had always been the how does what is it got? there was never a time when black people didn't find a box or stand up. so that right was the few years i stood anxiety patasha a kelly as a scholar inactive as to as documented the lives of people who brought about change in black german history. although martine debo but had sworn allegiance to the

weimar republic, she wanted to achieve something new with a petition. equal rights for black people. 18 africans living in germany, signed the petition to the german parliament, the divorce and us. you're awfully kind of wanted young africans to have the opportunity to attend university or college auction. they wanted the board probably for personal reasons to the recognition in some interest the most ation are just between black men and white women on our tents. voting on like a teen vaughn warranty, but they also want to determine and the representative in the parliament type of marketing to both to be precise to martin, to move as on the petition failed. but it marked of the dawn of the 1st

black movement in germany monday and the date was one of the men who signed his name today, those events are remembered on a commemorative pillar in downtown berlin testament, that's my great printed agenda. i think it's fantastic historical. got his toilet this must just a minute. it's such a good feeling to know the mike, right, glen sava was also part of the fight to construct the. as the roaring twenties hit, germany, black american dancer josephine baker became a celebrated figure on the stages of berlin. extended this m a. the bus, they always call it, the grass skirt area. and black man had to walk around wearing a grass skirt. not a suit mixed with them on

board number line and 192510 door. vanya and the child was one of the few surviving black witnesses of the nazi era, until his death in 2019. as a child, he was put to work in the circus, and, and the so called human sues. he hated being docked at, or when complete strangers would run their fingers through his hair. the things got even worse. with the introduction of the notorious note in bag race laws. in 1935 colonial migrants were stripped of their citizenship. pandora vanya and the child was issued an aliens passport, and was rendered stateless. he lost his job at a hotel. the finding work became nearly impossible. one of the few exceptions was a nice market. the movies, the,

the most expensive film of the nazi era moons, housing required many black extras to play servants and a turkish power. the, the role conforms to degrading stereotypes that further the nazis racist. do you all of the young and say, i do have on your me style play the sultan's fanning. boy, only later did he realize he'd been exploited in dm's in a speech exploited in the sense that i never played a positive role. bushels poosey t for the it was only ever decoration decor, i'd say needed, exotic people impulse dx or they needed those. so today we know we were exploited by this month. misquote, the quote, the, the notion of white supremacy was celebrated in many nazi colonial fountains. the

regime had plans to re conquer former overseas colonies, clocks, and honestly, was one of many films to the great black people and use overtly racist dialogue. we already know those are not even a total of the events in this clip. the protagonist suggestions to the people approaching and says he's seen them before, quoted at the berlin zoo, afro german, after 4 routinely cast and such rules. the medicine man was played by louis brody, the grand father of abena, under michael lana from you and my family and a large number of freaking people here only survived the nazi era because they were needed for these german colonial fields. from 1939 onwards, daily life became increasingly dangerous for black people. the dks were among many

families who lost their home and had their passports revoked. monday and get the business went bankrupt. interracial couples faced persecution around 400 children fathered by black french occupying troops were forcibly sterilized. many black people were forced to go into hiding. at least the 2000 were killed in concentration camps. the fro, german community was being eradicated by the nazis or doesn't zoo is book place. does this kind of the i was to ensure that there wouldn't be another generation of black people in germany, even sort of more importantly. mia, that there would be no black europeans or p a game. and so the in the wake of the 2nd world war, the allied occupation forces in germany included a number of black troops from the united states. the

1945 about 5000 children were born to black american soldiers and german women in west germany. into the 1950s the children were still the subject of anthropological research. let's let me try the outcome speech. so 1st thing in the future is very important. to understand that this idea of so called races being unable to mix stem from earlier in colonial times. and this was google involved on the 5th was an idea that prevailed well beyond the 2nd world hold on even became enough. suddenly it was the children of the allies that now caused this problem. again, dost readout? i might, i know, opening dosh right? knowing 6 miss being in this archive all sound from 1950 to a west german parliamentary and use as a racist slower in reference to more than 3000 to buy racial children. she says

they quote, present a special type of human and racial problem. even our countries come back, the conditions are unsuitable for them. and quote, hundreds of children were given up for adoption, mostly to families in the united states. this west sherman television report from 1957 featured a single mother. since before leslie, she lived in bed and he acute the sound that we can see if it's being on the ground with any loose and expensive yeah. on the obviously most of the things you've done to help get it to them. i think the last time you was, it looks like, you know, a lot of the,

you know, being cost. it was one of these children born after the war he would go on to become the 1st black man to play for a german national team. his father was an american g. i been here to go on. i was born here in georgia. if you to be my mother is german. i field german, honestly to me for us, for me playing for the german national team was the greatest. i'm a doctor in the industry and being cost. it was born in munster, in 1946. his 6 older siblings were all white. he never got to know his father. on his way to school, people would routinely give him the nazi salute. the countless racist remarks still haunt him today. the funny thing it

was hell, absolute health disruption says fall numbers for me, even women and when i go into a strong ruben, it may be misbehave a little. i'm of them. they'd say come on, black kid, how do i go back to africa? i forgot it. was that was how it was day in day out. actually. so julian, time it was meant to be put in a home of it, but my mother refused to send me away. and honestly, she had got 6 white children, 6 and then a black one comes along to them. yeah. so and people pointed to a lot of time getting on up on football offered a chance to escape the humiliation because it didn't cost. it was good, extremely good. he played center forward in germany's top division the building this weekend and scored the goal of the season in 1974 for kickers opened by

later that year he played for west germany's national team in a european championship qualifier in the front of the hospital. but back home fans of rival teams continued their races to chance unabated. the miracle, there's always been nasty remarks. trust me. you need to be pretty tough in germany sometimes. that's why and there was a section in which all we shouted on 10 gays, and one of the things a little under the media celebrated him but always as an outside or one of them. the brown bumper, as they could have written the bomber. and he also, i'm not that brown bomber. there always had to be something that last time you all seem to me. in 1990 close to the was wrongly accused of robbing an arcade. a football fan claimed to have recognized him from

his skin color. there was no actual evidence to support the case. cost to them was acquitted after spending 6 months in custody. the trial, you know, because i think i was the 1st black child to start school and caught bus and couplets had a population of probably 40000 at the time. the just happens it oh, i don't remember seeing a black person before it was scanned into and trots mentioned because he as i say, i didn't even know there was such a thing. so an escaped god at the end of the boat

was born in communist eastern germany. in 1962, her father, a student from gone left the g d r. she was raised by determined women, her mother, and 2 grand mother. she was a very good student and was selected to be a school crossing guard. this is amateur footage of the proud family. yeah. it was there was something different about me from but i learned that from others because it wasn't anything i felt myself. what i saw was they all play like me. i do math and gymnastics the same way. they do. yep. something was different about me nearby and it was not something that was discussed at home. just wasn't important. and you could see it could be a 1000000 in a hotel. oh isn't. well, no, not in the media finish. lots of what was that was alabama. angela davis angela davis became the face of black power in east germany. the american scholar

of civil rights activist and communist was wrongfully in prison in the us until her acquittal in 1972. all right. engine, this is angela davis had a huge impact on my life. me. i finished it when i looked at the photos now. the for a look was all the rage back time. and of course i had enough row and i work glasses onto them or wherever i went on the east somehow i was always angela davis. there was a political struggle taken up by the ged or that was good for me. would type in the late 19 seventy's eastern germany recruited a growing number of workers from vietnam, angola, mozambique, and other fellow commune to nations. more than $200000.00 people total by the time of german reunification. but they were obliged to go back home after

a few years and the authorities did not envision their broader social integration. gabrielle, available to world remains largely white one. as far as how much she missed for august. i know the one supposed to assimilate or into not going to the cloth. the foreign workers were housed separately from the rest of the population. so this one is, so it wasn't like you were suddenly seeing a black person in the supermarket or the swimming pool a lot. this comes with what's in his for the unavailable and studied medicine and was already a qualified doctor when this footage was taken in the early 19 ninety's. she always wanted to be a guy and ecologist, but the local authorities stipulated that she's specialize in hi, janet care, despite the country shortage of gynecologists at the time. vailable protested destiny from the this was of course, i suspected it was because of my skin color. prusio enjoy those at school. nadine

and gynecologist means close physical contact with people and while as a hygiene specialist, i'd be sitting in an office and basically out of sight. i said i could see absolutely no reason to not be working in my chosen fields or tessa. she took the issue to the next level, threatening to send a complaint to the east german head of state and east konica young proxy products, which the upshot was 2 or 3 weeks later i received a letter informing me that they were happy to comply with my request because the city really did need more gynecologists all to and so i became one spanish expert albina, although michael grew up at the same time as gabrielle available, but in the other germany, in west berlin. after jobs in paris and london,

she started working for an international and g. o. as a young woman in the 1980s, she wanted to become an optician and asked a friend for help in finding an apprenticeship. yeah, and then comes, is this 6 news. she was very embarrassed when i asked again whether she could find someone to take meal and as an apprentice legal name. hold on this afternoon. she said no. unfortunately, they told me, yeah, we know you, but people aren't ready for black hands to be poking around in a white person's face and an advice and desist on forming on this one or 2. and it was a big chunk sydney shock, disease and very awkward for her 2 of us wizell as they asked it was the 1st time i realized it wouldn't be easy to do the job. i wanted them also include an issue of hon. mister bane under michael wanted to stop feeling like

a stranger in her own country and when looking for people who felt the same way in 1985, she met a group of women connected to the american poet and queer civil rights activist. audrey lord, lord was a guest lecturer at the free university in west berlin, who encouraged black women to discover their communities history and celebrate their heritage. the sizes harvey, i'm the lawyer. it was like kind of tiffany of relief. we were all there without. shyness needs our experiences of desire as sadness, carson, or, and so i was, it was great and it enabled us to break house at that isolation. or is it that soon to chrome or isn't that soon? so come on in the sense of community carried us as much. i've talked to inside the guitar. yeah, i love it comes with us and i'm, it was like we've been existing in

a room with no air computers. and i felt when we met audrey lord, the african american poet, and she was simply interested in our lives, it would have been suggested that we introduced ourselves to each other folks logged on to the world when david was flushed in this file. it's quite a big deal from miami, as we were still very young, and it seemed to uh, close the off campus. and at the 1st meeting they would be 31st and they would be very excited. because to everyone, it would be the 1st time being in a group of us on the african and people who have the same experience the same. yeah . who could, without talking about it, would understand you make the

together with active as to my, i am contacting the organ toya and wrote a book called showing our colors. the project helped them to develop a positive self image. at the same time, audrey lloyd, urge them to self identify. as pro germans or black germans says, it was important because until then stopped, we'd always been objectified in society of the dental. and these are cafe. shocked how people talked about task is completed before we where the subject of various political and academic debate and put me to shaw the business off to get the button . when you kind of think the showing our colors project was the 1st time we were leading the narrative using such a political voice to, oh, i know putting me to assist it was the start of the 2nd black movement in germany with the founding of the initiative of black people in germany and later it's sister organization a day for, for black women in germany. the

1989 saw the phone with the berlin wall in the time when many hoped for a free year and a better life. just over a year later, not long after german reunification, eastern town of eva as well. the made headlines, a model of more than 50 neo nazis attack young african contract workers outside a local restaurant. on the day on tonio from angola was beaten into a coma. with one of the attackers standing on his head on tony who died 2 weeks later at the age of 28 or for you only since you meant to do the looking back very well. i just feel really heavy on mail causes bear with me is seeing a colleague and brother the style, the more say,

well just because he was black out and put it in there with like his friend. i'm a do on tonio, yona minoza state in the country after the collapse of the communist regime. they both come to each germany from uncle as contract workers and 1997. both had hoped to study on tonia wanted to be an aircraft engineer. instead, he ended up working at a meat packing factory. the on tony fell in love with a german woman and was looking forward to soon becoming a father and building a family. on the day on tonia was the 1st murder victim of right wing violence and re unified germany. more attacks would follow in both the east and the west. young . i'm

a new guy remembers the atmosphere back then by system it to me. yeah. i 0 finish of what about me? yeah. i so it's kind of by so if i went out on the street, the same thing could happen to me. when did the moment about vocalist for me? it was, it was a really bad time for us to whom is august. and the kid was like, for the ones that are under the war, hasn't been them. you don't know when you're going to die, find 2 steps or door when you lose a leg or an arm. but that's all. this is josie, meant to only retire with 5 bucks, 10 and deval, cnc a gross good or it was around this in certain time that comes on and was born in the east german city of you know, today the research has radicalization and is a social worker the

tea grew up with the feeling that something bad could happen to him at any time to cease for music. do you like to be that man? no detours for them. she will not go into the playground or somewhere else after school, but going straight home. if you met with friends, then at their home, is it possible i do you know some of these can when you met outside and then only very close to home or in groups? i would also does. you knew that every time you left your home, it was potentially dangerous. it's just putting certain feelings to as a young boy, he had no idea of a neo nazi and a few groups forming in his neighborhood where future members be out to shape up and move and one, los attended the youth club on the corner. somehow adam sense that he was seldom

truly st. ready the routine violence of the 19 ninety's may have subsided, but not the racism. in 2016, causing a lot of them was racially harassed by a group of drunk people. while on his way to the supermarket. he called the police for assistance asking they be removed from the square but the ability to stop this good while you got when the officer refused to come and remove them so i could be able to no, i tried to explain again why i thought that was necessary that they were racially abusive or might racially abuse other people that day do some talk with the pleasant continents to swing across for by those models, least of them, the police officer said something like when i was asking the same as you're just making a big deal about the color of your skin. you helped us get food, you like and the most i'll hold, hold on like young black people of his generation and the former

west germany lacked the community and felt his was alone struggle in the former east. but he changed that in 2018. he found that a local branch of germany's oldest civil rights group for black people with only 4 people in the beginning. today he's a member of the executive. the i actually have had annual meetings for the last several decades calling about 1st attended one in 2019 the this will finish classes that i can succeed was suddenly real. i'm just going there and seeing so many black people will think of everything a completely different atmosphere. it was just incredible and unbelievably enriching polish on the defaults. and mentioned the sublime people. i know now with this cliff who had already been to these national meetings as children and say it was crucial for their own development. um, you know, i will tell you so to have the space full retreat and empowerment to home to know

you have these awful experiences all year long. let me just go and see all of you. but then there's this one period in the year was give you some where you can reach her at your batteries on which cough tide, immerse yourself in another world. and you know, i'm looking at it and talk the human right to a life free of racism. that's a key political issue that's motivated, the community who compile remember my childhood as being i full of life. i never experienced the time in refugee housing is anything bad nor did i'm select that image. people like to create was just that for me who was born there, it was completely normal house and i was at home. there were lots of kids, as it was only over time that i realized it wasn't a normal upbringing. police no malice, fox is in 2019. i mean not that to hey,

it became the 1st arrow german deputy speaker of the regional parliament. 3 years later, she became the 1st black state minister on that, i'm going to come from an early age. your minded up, the fact that you don't look like everyone around you, they're soft on dawson's adults, especially makes you feel that like they're interesting to know where you're at from a distance to a stomach, stood with some boys, 16 or 7 years old, and think i live here and you don't ask yourself all these questions about identity or ancestry. i have come to, i mean, not that to say was born in refugee housing after her parents fled molly in 1992. at the age of 12, she became a german citizen. as a student leader, she showed an early commitment to combining discrimination. today as a politician, initialize the coast time state parliament. she tackles structural racism and public institutions and society at me and tell us about

your racist experiences. i'm often asked and usually i have absolutely no desire to do so for 2 reasons. firstly, because many believe that these experiences are individual. they start to, excuse that and tell me their coincidences, coincidences that have been piling up for 26 years, which top off throughout the whole try dated so awesome. miss julie, you're always talking about racism, but you yourself have made it to deputy speaker tanka, and i think boston, what does that have to do with the fact that at this very moment to put someone somewhere is probably having problems with integration authorities are being racially abused on the street, my hot water system supplied with of this class i'm look for tonight is pretending that these issues are all fixed just because you have some individual figurehead is very problematic. so putting tomatoes today, one 5th of all germans have migration background. i mean, not that tool they encourages minorities to become politically active,

escape and can, that's where it is of the heart of the issue is the question of who's allowed to be part of society and what does it actually mean to be german? so in the words of i feel german poet to my young i who instead of asking questions simply states it is bad, i will still be african, i definitely want me to be german and i will be german even if my blacklist does not suit you, that i will go get another step further to the very edge. when my sisters and brothers stand before our freedom begins, is that i will go yet another step further and another and will return when i want . how i want borderless and brazen. thank you. the, the 3rd and 4th generations of an afro german family. up in on demarco's mother. beryl was born in good dance in what is now poland, where the families,

european chapter began. even now at 82 years old. she's still sometimes confronted with questions about her routes. the, where are you from or do you speak german? what are you doing here any way about? or what do you then say? funny john? good that it's $10.00 shift is why is that like the black engine and the descendants of monday and indeed show that this was never a contradiction in terms of being under michael's daughter currently in london is now the 5th generation of the deep family. it's their history and it's german history, the this habit of who does have the feeling that we'll be seeing more progress going forward than we did in the past.

the city off of the for a quick on the slow but this, we're not going to let this read kind of woman, and that's going to be in way here to be a 1000 or then there's no changing that. that was kind of income. the we took you all misleading but should we, larry has been that the, the killer, you know ross, our existence of genetic research. i want to eradicate dangerous mosquitoes with

new technologies and generation mosquitoes may of traits. and is that a good idea for 30 minutes? dw, the, the sites far as far as with everything they have. despite the objections of their own family, the females find those places of the amazon sealants, even paid for the risk they take. they still believe strongly and what they do. it makes them proud. dw, the to explore your bucket list, the magic corner,

check hot spot. and some great culture of the board has to vote w travel off we go the, this is the, the news coming to live from berlin. russia calls and incident on the bridge linking russia with crimea as an act of terrorism. and verified footage from a russian source shows damage to the bridge of the reports of blasts over night and to death. almost.
