"Im Juni 2014 realisierten Studenten des Fachbereichs Visuelle Kommunikation, Fussballfans und das Frankfurter Fanprojekt in Nähe der S-Bahn-Station Niederrad ein sichtbares Zeichen für Toleranz und gegen Diskriminierung ist.

Zu sehen ist der ehemalige Fussballprofi Anthony Yeboah, der in Bundesliga zum Opfer von Diskriminierung und Fremdenfeindlichkeit wurde. „Wir schämen uns für alle, die gegen uns schreien“ stammt aus einem offenen Brief von 1990, in dem sich Anthony Yeboah, gemeinsam mit Anthony Baffoe und Souleyman Sané, gegen den Rassismus in deutschen Stadien wehrten.

In June 2014, students from the Visual Communication faculty, football fans and the Frankfurt fan project near Niederrad S-Bahn station realised a visible sign of tolerance and against discrimination.

On view is the former professional footballer Anthony Yeboah, who became a victim of discrimination and xenophobia in the Bundesliga. "We are ashamed of all who shout against us" comes from an open letter from 1990 in which Anthony Yeboah, together with Anthony Baffoe and Souleyman Sané, resisted racism in German stadiums.

"Anthony Yeboah (born 6 June 1966) is a Ghanaian former professional footballer who played as a striker from 1981 to 2002.

He is considered one of the most prominent and prolific goal scorers in Ghanaian and African football history and gained a reputation for scoring spectacular goals which often featured in Goal of the Month or Goal of the Season competitions, often celebrated by wagging his index finger towards the crowd.

Yeboah is most noted for his time at European clubs 1. FC Saarbrücken, Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds United and Hamburger SV during the 1990s. He also played for Asante Kotoko, Cornerstones Kumasi, Okwawu United and Al-Ittihad Doha. He was capped 59 times by Ghana, scoring 29 goals. He now runs an international sports agency and a chain of hotels in Ghana. He won the Bundesliga golden boot on two occasions in 1992–93, 1993–94 playing for Eintracht Frankfurt."
