history
In the mid-1980s, the initiative coincided with the Berlin movement ADEFRA e. V. - Black women emerged in Germany . The reason for this was the extensive research on the book color confess by Katharina Oguntoye , May Ayim , Dagmar Schultz (eds.). A book in which black women “documented their past and present in German society across generations”.
The association, whose local groups are active nationwide in several German cities, published the anthology Spiegelblicke - Perspektiven Black Movement in Germany at Orlanda Verlag on the occasion of its 30th anniversary in 2015 . The association also initiated the Homestory Germany exhibition , which was funded by the Federal Agency for Civic Education as part of the Africom project.
