colonists seized 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 colonial outside of sophistic for the understanding colonial period is important for the emergence of a black community. asked them because 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 small can i find 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 the 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 top, let's take the family to the soon like we know today, note from 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 or communities photos. colton dog started talking zone on um, it was a stage to mexico and then had nothing to do with who they actually was foster dog instead. boss, i just got it to human. vicki hopkins, the,

the 1st stage, organized colonial exhibition in germany, took place in 1896 in berlin, 106 men, women and children were brought in from german colonies. photographs show how people were racially degraded and forced to be exhibited the plus builds. does the dodge of the colonial authorities wanted to portray africans as less civilized, as primitive stimulus he up? those came up to see what's inside and when 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. 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 d could travel to humble work from the wall a camera room. he came from a wealthy family and could already speak german. he then completed an apprenticeship as a shoemaker, the android to essentially he was expected to demonstrate his shoemaking skills in the big shop windows portraits feelings on our side. and that made him feel like he too was on display

because it was so early that there weren't get objections from the colonial administration of the call. then you'll have somebody come house. but most of the people who applied later wherever reject it in would have this done for via got after the 1st world war, german imperialist expansion was brought to an end, at least for the time being. the treaty of versailles resulted in germany seating its colonies the at the same time, french troops occupied the rhineland. among their rank sport african soldiers, which german nationalist saw as a humiliation. they launched a racist smear campaign, calling 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 f boss on tired davis paused at 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 the right was these few years, i stood anxiety. tasha a kelly as a scholar inactive as to as documented the lives of people who brought about change in black german history. although martine depot, but had sworn allegiance to the weimar republic, she wanted to achieve something new with a petition. equal rights for black people. 18

that's my great printed agendas. i think it's fantastic historical got his toilet this must just a minute. it's such a good feeling to know the my great 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 bus. so they always call it the grass skirt area, and black man have 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 northern back 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 niche 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 role conforms to degrading stereotypes that further the nazis

racist. the ology 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. bush of pussy t for the 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 nicely kara was one of many phones to the great 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. quote 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 with this because they would need it 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,

worked 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. one doesn't do 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 gaming source 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. the children were born to black americans, 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 googling vol, lindsey, this 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 vida i might, i know, gosh, the total noise miss being in this archive will 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 country's 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 the lessons before or less likely to live in that. and he acute the sound that we can see if it's the end of the gallons. and this is an illusion. dispensing yeah. on the obviously mostly 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 for you to be. my mother is german. i feel 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 close to 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 funniest 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 sojourn 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. the key blade center forward in germany's top division, the building is leaking and scored the goal of the season in 1974 for kicker is 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 can tell me the 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

globe this 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 i don't remember seeing a black person before it was scanned into and trots mentioned disease. as i say, i didn't even know there was such a thing. so sky vote was born in communist each germany in 1962, her father, a student from gone left to the g d r. she was raised by determined women, her mother and 2 grandmothers. she was a very good student and was selected to be

a school crossing guard. this is amateur footage of the proud family. john saw it was, there was something different about me from that i learned that from others by the cost 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, yoga and does. 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 o, as in one, 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 scholars, civil rights activist and communist was wrongfully in prison in the us until her acquittal in 1972. all right.

angela angela davis had a huge impact on my life volume. but when i looked at the photos now, the for a look was all the rage back time. and of course i had an afro and i wore glasses on most men to wherever i went in the east. somehow i was always angela davis. there was a political struggle taken up by the ged or that was good for me. what to do me 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 well and some machinist focusing on the, 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, when they saw 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 authority stipulated that she's specialize in hi, janet care. despite the country shortage of gynecologists at the time visible protest, it does move to this was going to select it. it was because of my skin color prusio enjoy, but it's going to 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. 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 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 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 to. to didn't issue i understood being 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 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. i am it enabled us to break house. is 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 much. i've talked to inside baton. yeah, i love it comes to us and i'm it was like we've been existing in a room with no air conch 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 david was forced in this file. it's quite a big deal from miami, as we were still very young and it seemed close to of java. 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 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 show the business opportunity. boston, let me kind of think this, 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 attacked 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 always instrumental. as i do the looking back video, i just feel really heavy on mail causes bear with me is seeing a colleague and brother who lived with us die mont saint joseph, because he was blackout 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 each 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 con tonio 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 do. it's kind of by so if i went out on the street, the same thing could happen to me when didn't, will meant above vocalist for me. it was, it was

a really bad time for us to whom is that because this is an kid was like for the ones that are doing more of it. and we don't know when you're going to die. spend 2 steps or the or when you lose a leg or an arm with that. so this is josie, meant to or we were terrified buxton and devout c as the gross good. the it was around this in certain time that content on 'em 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 monthly. smith, if you met with friends, then at their home, is it possible i do you know some of these 10 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 the neo nazi n s u 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 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 conrad adam was racially harassed by a group of drunk people while on his way to the supermarket. he called the police for assistance asking to be removed from the square footage 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 talking with the pleasant kind of just the thing. perhaps for about as models, least of them, the police officer said something like, what does 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, adam 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 executives, 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 just going there and seeing so many black people will they cover anything a completely different atmosphere? it was just incredible and unbelievably enriching. partial the defaults and mentioned the sublime people. i know now one is clifford who had already been to these national meetings as children 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 out to your batteries on which cough tide, immerse yourself in another world. and you know,

i'm looking at it on top of 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 all 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 and 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 mind to the fact that you don't look like

everyone around you. they're soft on dawson's adults, especially makes you feel that like there it's seem 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 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. that's me and tell us about your racist experiences. i'm off enough 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 they're coincidences,

coincidences that have been piling up for 26 years, which top off throughout alternative. 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 until they encourages minorities to become politically active. escape and can, that's where it is at 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 i who instead of asking questions simply states,

this is bad. 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 before 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 condensed 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 you from the do you speak german? what are you doing here any way about?

what do you then say? i'm john. good that it's $10.00 ship is what i 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 does have a discuss moved us. i 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 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

understanding the forest due to say the people are trying to find this a to assistant man resourcing against trying to change. and it's lacking in 30 minutes. d. w. in good shape.

when our sister of tori system is running smoothly, our bodies function the better. but what happens when blood isn't flowing properly? we'll show you what them just to look out for the possible side effects of circulatory diseases and surprising treatment in good shape. in 19 minutes, dw, the, we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring use a story behind the news. we're all about unbiased information. all 3 months. done the,
