Inspired by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, the search words in this book are thought provoking. They trace the unparalleled and centuries-long transformation undertaken by Africans brought to America, from their captivity to present day African-Americans. These puzzles remind us of our proud heritage and they're a fun way to help keep our history alive. The good, the bad, and the ugly are represented in the searches - many of the people, places and things that have helped shape our culture and continue to influence who we are today. These word searches are a challenging and engaging way to reminiscence about our past. They can also build an easy bridge to share our history with the generations that follow us. They make great stocking stuffers and are great to have on hand for entertaining young folk in your family or to help keep grandchildren busy when they come for a visit. Who knows? You might even learn something new!
