ImagesThis gallery of images illustrates the untold story of African-American GIs and Germany and the transnational implications of the African-American civil rights movement. By illuminating the experience of World War II, the postwar period, as well as the emergence of the civil rights movement and black power solidarity in East and West Germany, it provides a small glimpse into the wealth of photographs that will be made available through our digital archive. For another selection of images, see our exhibition.
