who encouraged black women to discover their communities history and celebrate their heritage. the sizes harvey, i'm the lloyd, it was like kind of tiffany, a really good the we were all there without. shyness needs our experiences of desire as sadness, carson or and so i was, it was great. i am. it enabled us to break house at that isolation, or is it let soon to chrome or isn't that soon? so come on in the sense of community carried us as i talk to inside the guitar. yeah, i love that comes to us and i'm, it was like we've been existing in a room with no air conk status. 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 the of it was flushed in this file. it's quite a big deal from miami, as we were still very young, and it seemed to 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 the group of ask of the african means people who have the same experience the same. yeah. who could, without talking about it, would understand you 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 lord, 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 were the subject of various political and academic debate in the pony to shaw the business off because the boston, let me think this showing our causes project was the 1st time we were leading the narrative using such a political voice to, oh i in a put 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. the

just over a year later, not long after german reunification, eastern town of eva, his father made headlines. a model of more than 50 neo nazis attacked young african contract workers outside the 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. for you always in demand to as i do, the looking back very well. i just feel really heavy mail causes bear with me is seeing a colleague and brother who lived with us died more sane, just because he was black out and put it in there with like his friend. i'm a do on tonio, you'll never know the state in the country after the collapse of the communist

regime. they both come to east germany from angola as contract workers in 1987 both had hoped to study on tonia wanted to be an aircraft engineer. instead, he ended up working at a meat packing factory. the antone fell in love with a german woman and was looking forward to soon becoming a father and building a family. of a 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. and 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 passive. i went out on the street. the same thing could happen to me when didn't moment vocalist for no. it wasn't. that was

a really bad time for us to whom is that? and the kid was like, war by one's about and doing more of him. you don't know when you're going to die. find 2 steps or door when you lose a leg or an arm. but as a, this is josie, meant to or we were terrified, buxton and devolve, see, i see a gross good 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 is a social worker, the he grew up with the feeling that something bad has happened 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. is this putting certain feelings? as a young boy, he had no idea of the neo nazi and nephew group 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 said that he was seldom truly safe. ready the routine violence of the 19 ninety's may have subsided, but not the racism. in

2016 corner lot, adam 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 for you, but they were racially abusive or might racially abuse. other people that day do some talk with the plan from calling this to swing drops for violence models and then the police officer said something like when i was after the same as you're just making a big deal about the color of your skin to help us get food you likely to multiple 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 v i s d have had annual meetings for the last several decades. calling about 1st attended one in 2019 the kid was suddenly real just going there and seeing so many black people will take up everything a completely different atmosphere. it was just incredible and unbelievably enriching polish on the defaults and mentioned some black people. i know now one is clifford who had already been to these national meetings as children and 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 and you can see all of you. but then there's this one period in the year was grouped 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, i'm talking about the human rights to a life free of racism. that's a key political issue that's motivated the community who i remember my childhood as being all of life. i never experienced the time in refugee housing has anything bad nor did. i'm select 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, police, you know, malice, outbox 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. you're reminded of 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 from. a distance to a stomach stood with some boys, 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, i mean, not to, 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 co signed state parliament. she tackles structural racism and public institutions and society etc. and also 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 it, 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 that's what does that have to do with the fact that at this very moment to pull someone somewhere is probably having problems with immigration authorities are being racially abused on the street, my heart will cause of the slightest bit of this class i'm look for to assist with attending that these issues are all fixed just because you have some individual figurehead is very problematic. so putting in motus today, one and 5th of all germans have migration background. i mean, not until they encourages minorities to become politically active. escape and can, that's where 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 line even if you want me to be german. and i will be german, even if my black less 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. i will return when i want, how i want borderless and brazen. thank you. the, the 3rd and 4th generations of an afro german family have been on demarco's mother. beryl was born in good dance and 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?
