Excerpt:

Hans Massaquoi, a former managing editor of Ebony magazine who composed a distinct memoir about his unusual childhood growing up black in Nazi Germany, has actually perished. He was 87. His son said Massaquoi perished Saturday, on his 87th birthday, in Jacksonville. He had been hospitalized over the Christmas holidays. "He had quite a journey in life," said Hans J. Massaquoi, Jr. , of Detroit. "Many have read his books and know what he endured. But most don't know that he was a good, kind, loving, fun-loving, fair, honest, generous, hard-working and open-minded man. He respected others and commanded respect himself. He was dignified and trustworthy. We will miss him forever and try to live by his example.".

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
