There is a plaque in Germany with the inscription "Hier kotzte Goethe," which translates to "Here Goethe vomited." This plaque is located in Tübingen, near the Martinianum, a building next to the Cottahaus. The Cottahaus was the residence of Johann Friedrich Cotta, the first publisher of Schiller and Goethe’s works. During his week-long stay in Tübingen in 1797, Goethe sought inspiration in the city’s taverns. The famous literary figure, also known for his love of parties, is commemorated by a plaque reading "Hier wohnte Goethe" (here Goethe lived). However, on the wall of the student residence next door, there is another plaque with a slightly more irreverent inscription: "Hier kotzte Goethe" (here Goethe vomited). This plaque humorously marks the spot where Goethe allegedly vomited during his visit, although there is little historical evidence to confirm the event.

"Until the legacy of remembered and reenacted trauma is taken seriously, black America cannot heal."
