By exploring the roots and reach of the censorship movement, Hagopian shows how these efforts to suppress truth serve to uphold racial capitalism and silence the histories that threaten entrenched power.

Despite all the adversity he faced, Brooks became a lifelong leader and a servant of his community.

Dass Deutschland ein Land ist, das von Vielfalt geprägt wird, ist unbestreitbar. Und dennoch erleben Eingewanderte und ihre Nachkommen täglich Ablehnung und Benachteiligung, sei es auf der Suche nach einer Wohnung, bei Bewerbungsgesprächen oder bei der Fahrscheinkontrolle. Es ist schockierend, wie stark Rassismus immer noch den deutschen Alltag durchzieht. Gleichzeitig sind solche Erfahrungen schwer nachzuempfinden, wenn man sie nicht selbst erlebt hat. Umso wichtiger ist es, Geschichten Betroffener zu erzählen, um die Gesellschaft zu sensibilisieren und Veränderung möglich zu machen.

Längst geht es nicht mehr um Gleichbehandlung, sondern Deutungshoheit: Wer hat hier das Sagen und darf mitreden? Die türkeistämmige Journalistin und Autorin Canan Topçu sagt: "Das ist nicht mein Antirassismus."

When did America become obsessed with racial differences?

To his contemporaries in Gilded Age Manhattan, Guillermo Eliseo was a fantastically wealthy Mexican, the proud owner of a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park, a busy Wall Street office, and scores of mines and haciendas in Mexico. But for all his obvious riches and his elegant appearance, Eliseo was also the possessor of a devastating secret: He was not, in fact, from Mexico at all. Rather, he had begun life as a slave named William Ellis, born on a cotton plantation in Texas during the waning years of King Cotton.
