EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in history, as Angela Davis, the courageous American communist and civil rights defender, is warmly greeted by soldiers of the National Peoples Army of the German Democratic Republic at the iconic Brandenburg Gate. Taken on 11 September 1972 by an anonymous German photographer, this image showcases a unique meeting between two worlds that were divided by ideology and politics. In this historic encounter, Lieutenant-General Arthur Kunath, the town commander of East Berlin, takes center stage as he explains to Davis and other representatives of the US Communist Party about the importance and delicate situation surrounding the GDR state frontier with West Berlin. The photo serves as a testament to East Germany's propaganda efforts during that time. Angela Davis herself was known for her unwavering dedication to fighting for civil rights in America while advocating for communism. Her presence at such an event symbolizes solidarity among like-minded individuals across borders who shared similar ideologies. Preserved in a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by political tension but also moments of connection between unlikely allies. It stands as a reminder of both Angela Davis's bravery in pursuing her beliefs and the complex dynamics that shaped global politics during the 20th century.
