New plate: University explains work on Amo memorial
The university is working on a new concept to commemorate Anton Wilhelm Amo, the first Afro-German academic at a German university, who worked in Halle and Wittenberg. At the Universitätsring, the rector and the chairman of the appointed rectorate commission inaugurated a plate pointing out the discrepancy between the artwork “Free Africa” and a memorial plate for Amo placed nearby in 1975.
