Black History is endless and the discoveries for non-black people who have been deprived of African American history suffer from understanding their ethnic history when black history is distorted or alleviated form global awareness of black people's societal input and existence globally. For non-black people to be taught in American educational systems that blacks were kidnapped and stolen from their original land in the Sudan or aka Afrikaa originally, like animals to high bidders for their skin, hide, fertility, land and then enslaved in labor is not justice, but a continued crime.

This is one of a series of articles on the education of blacks or educating readers about blacks and American history; which is really more global history than anything else. You may or may not be surprised according to if you were botn in Asia, The East or Europe that there are Afro-Germans aka Afrodeutsche. That's not even as amazing as the fact that there are Germans who do not know that information.
Germany has a small population of ethnicity that are direct decedents of African people as the blacks are in America and all over the world, although 99% of the time they are not shown in the media. You answer that question. Can you?

Out of a population of approximately 82 million people living in Germany, about one half million are Black. Now EU countries do not keep track of ethnicity, but just thinking historically, there could not be any less than 250,000 black decedents. This information can be discern by reading books by Hans J. Massaquot who wrote the book, "Neger, Neger, Schornsteinfer", the German edition of Hans Massaquot book, "Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany."

Anton Wilhelm Amo born in 1703 in the area of Africa now readily called Ghana, was one of the first Africans known to live in Germany. Amo died in 1759. He can to Germany under the protection of the Duke (Herzog) of Wolfenbuttel in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) Hans actually grew up in the Duke's castle. Anton Wilhelm Amo was the first African American to a German University and the first to obtain a doctorate degree in 1729. The name of that University was Halle. Thirty years before he died.
This African American was a Professor in the 1700's.

Mr. Anton went under the name of Antonius Gulelmus Amo Afer. Mr. Amo Afer not only taught in two German universities, he published several scholarly works, including a Latin treatise entitled De Arte Sobrie et Accurate Philosophandi in 1736. The work translated in english is "On the Art of Philosophizing Soberly and Accurately" With all his achievements and many not listed in this article, he returned to Africa in 1747. Reason: racial discrimination he encountered in Germany.
