I am so delighted that from Saturday there will be a Martha-Ndumbe-Platz in Berlin Wedding, honouring Martha who was murdered in Ravensbrück. Many thanks and congrats to all behind this initiative, especially to ISD and Decolonize Berlin. I wish I could be at Saturday's celebration.

Got to work on both these exhibitions in Berlin - if you can, go see them: 'Auf der Spuren der Familie Diek' in Schoeneberg and 'Solidarisiert euch! Schwarzer Widerstand' in Charlottenburg
