On November 13, 2014, the Black Leipzig symposium took place with four presentations on Black culture in Leipzig. In her opening address Prof. Anne Koenen argued that in order to understand the broad range of topics related to racism and Black culture it is necessary to scrutinize different constructions of race and blackness. Kathleen Rahn outlined traces of colonialism in Leipzig's history and pointed to the highly problematic commemorative culture of the city.
