Description

Destined to Witness: Growing Up Black in Nazi GermanyAs the son of a wealthy African father and a German mother, Hans Massaquoi lived a privileged life. When his father returned home to Liberia, Hans's mother, concerned about her son's health, stayed behind in Germany. But before the family could reunite, the Nazi Party came to power, and Hans was trapped in a country where the color of his skin made him a constant target of hostility and abuse. Living in constant fear for his safety, Hans's existence

As the son of a wealthy African father and a German mother, Hans Massaquoi lived a privileged life. When his father returned home to Liberia, Hans's mother, concerned about her son's health, stayed behind in Germany. But before the family could reunite, the Nazi Party came to power, and Hans was trapped in a country where the color of his skin made him a constant target of hostility and abuse.

Living in constant fear for his safety, Hans's existence became increasingly precarious until the end of World War II in 1945. This beautifully written, inspiring memoir chronicles the terrifying ordeals and remarkable survival of a black youth growing up in Nazi Germany.

Hans Massaquoi emigrated to the United States in the early 1950s. He served in the U.S. Army and then became a journalist for Johnson Publishing, where he was managing editor of Ebony Magazine. He was an active participant in the civil rights movement. The father of two sons, Hans lives with his wife, Katherine, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"An incredible tale ... Exceptional ... It is reviving and heartening to learn of this intrepid black child and young man who through a combination of guts, smarts, and a really good mother, manages to waltz through the darkest abyss of the 20th century and come out whistling." -- Chicago Sun Times

Worked perfectly for a long, cold run!
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly! They aren’t the warmest but do the job for long cold runs in Texas. I ran a half marathon in 40 degree weather with these on and they kept me warm. They are a bit smaller in size, similar to what other reviewers have said. But I’m a small woman with small hands so the size medium I ordered were perfect. They were warm enough that I took them off at about mile 6. So overall, I’d definitely recommend for a light coverage, snug fit, glove.

Decent UA gloves pricey for the quality
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Large
The thickness isn’t what I thought it would be. They’re ok for warmth as long as it isn’t single digits or in the negatives. They’re durable so far and grip is good. The size and fit are good for smaller to medium sized hands. It is also good for pressing your phone screen.

Great morning run gloves
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Large
Absolutely love these gloves and they are perfect for a fall morning run or as an extra layer inside a mitten I have noticed under armour gloves seem to run slightly small but the large fit ne perfect and id consider my hand a little on the smaller side these fit perfectly snug
