regime had plans to re conquer former overseas colonies. clocks in africa was one of many films to degrade black people and use overtly racist dialogue. so those are not even a total of the events in this clip. the protagonist and gestures 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 african 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

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 continue to go on. the site was born here for you to be. my mother is german 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 the cost of the 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 father of it

was hell, absolute health destruction says fall moments and even women. and when i go into a strong room and it may be misbehave a little when 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 such a long time. it was meant to be put in a home of it, but my mother refused to send me away. what can honestly, she had got 6 white children, 6 and then a black one comes along to them. yeah. so and people pointed, you know, to find anything on up on football, offered a chance to escape the humiliation because you know, being close to the was good, extremely good. he played center forward in germany's top division. the building is leaking and scored the goal of the season in 1974 for kickers opened by

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 10 didn't so new and trots mentioned was in. as i say, i didn't even know there was such a thing, so it must be got to 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 by the boss, 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 yet. something was different about me nearby and as it was not something that was discussed at home, it just wasn't important. and you could see it could be a 1000000 in a hotel. oh isn't. well, no, no. i'm in mia finish massive. what was that? i 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, the engine, this is angela davis had a huge impact on my life. volume 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 on. most men to wherever i went on the east. somehow i was always angela davis. there was a political struggle taken up by the gd, or that was good for me to give me a time. 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 because they weren't supposed to assimilate or into not to go into the cloth, the foreign workers warehouse 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 of 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 authority 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, but it's gonna be me 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. busy 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. the spanish expert auto miko 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 it said 6 nurse. 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 form for me on this one or 2. and it was a big shock. sydney shock, disease and very awkward for her to about as well as will as they asked it was the 1st time i realized it wouldn't be easy to do the job. i wanted them to give us a to didn't issue the hon. mister bane under michael wanted to stop feeling like a stranger in her own country and went looking for people who felt the same way.

in 1985, she met a group of women connected to the american poet and career 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 for the i'm the lawyer. it was like a piece. any of really good uh we were all there without. shyness needs oh, experiences of design as sadness, carson. 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 to us, and i know it was like we've been existing in

a room with no air conk status. and i see that 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 for 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 apps 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. as is, um, 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 wear the subject of various political and academic debate and put me to shaw the business off to get the button . let me kind of think the showing our colors project was the 1st time we were leading the narrative of 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 hopes for a free year and a better life. just over a year later, not long after german reunification, eastern town of eva as father 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 stamping on his head on tony who died 2 weeks later at the age of 28. or for you always in demand to as i do the looking back very well. i just feel really heavy to mail causes bear with me is being a colleague and brother the style, the more say,

well just because he was black out a book and then there was like his friend, i'm a day on tonio. you'll never known the state in the country after the collapse of the communist regime. they both come to east to germany from uncle as contract workers in 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 tonio 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 past so if i went out on the street the same thing could happen to me when didn't, will meant above vocalist for. and it wasn't, that was a really bad time for us to whom is that because this is in the kid was like for the ones that are doing more as if in 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 or we were terrified buxton and devout c as the gross good or it was around this in certain time that konover on him was born in the east german city of you know, today he researches radicalization and as a social worker, the

he 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, 10 months is 10 when you met outside and then only very close to home or in groups . i would also just, you knew that every time you left your home, it was potentially dangerous, is putting certain feelings to as a young boy, he had no idea of the neo nazi nsu group forming in his neighborhood where future members be out to shape up and move and one of those attended the youth club on the corner. somehow adam sense that he was seldom truly safe for. ready

the routine violence of the 19 ninety's may have subsided, but not the racism. in 2016 cause 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, i tried to explain again why i thought that was necessary, that they were racially abusive. there might racially abuse other people that day do some talk with the pleasant continents to swing across from us. those models, least of them, the police officer said something like, what does that do 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 b, i s d 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 they cover anything a completely different atmosphere. it was just incredible and unbelievably enriching, polish on defaults. and mentioned to you some black people, i know now with this cliff who had already been to these national meetings as children say it was crucial for their own development. um, you know, i can tell you so to have the space full retreat and empowerment to home to know

you have these awful experiences all year long or they just gotten see all of you. but then there's this one period in the year was kept decent. where you can reach archer batteries on which cough tide, immerse yourself in another world. and you know, i'm looking at it and talk the human rights to a life free of racism. that's a key political issue that motivated the community. when i remember my childhood as being all of life, i never experienced the time in refugee housing is anything bad like that image? people like to create 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 position on my list. all 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 reminded of the fact that you don't look like everyone around you, they're soft on task. adults especially makes you feel that i'm not there. it seem to know where you're from. a distance to a stomach stood with some blind one or 6, 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 mean not to to say it was born and 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 initially as a coach, time state parliament, she tackles structural racism and public institutions and society. as me and tell us about your a 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 it, and tell me their coincidences, coincidences that have been piling up for 26 years, which top off throughout the whole try to do it. it's so awesome. miss chelsea, you're always talking about re a system that you yourself has made it the deputy speaker, the banker. and i think best of 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 heart was of the slightest bit of this class and it's a tool that is what attending 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. 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? is something the words of i feel german poet, my young i, who instead of asking questions simply states is that i will still be african line even if you want me to be german. and i will be german, even if my blacklist does not suit you, is that i will go get another step further to the very edge where my sisters and brothers stand for our freedom begins, is that i will go yet another step further and another will return when i want, how i want borderless and brazen, like thank you. the, the 3rd and 4th generations of an afro german family. i've been on demarco's mother. beryl was born in condensed in what is now poland, where the families, european chapter began. even now at 82 years old,
