Dayton, OH (ChristianPRgroup) - Have you ever heard of Nannie Helen Burroughs, Claude Harvard, The Greenwood District, Myrtilla Miner, or Virginia Hamilton? Author and editor, LaTonya Branham invites readers to find the answers in the Second Edition of CultureSeek: Connecting to African and African American History.
Although indentured servants and enslaved Africans were separated from their homeland, many aspects of their culture crossed the waters - in their hearts and minds - and landed in the New World. CultureSeek explores the contributions, successes, and struggles of African American people. Understanding that black culture has roots in African and American history, CultureSeek draws the connection. As in previous titles by Branham, CultureSeek was uniquely designed to further engage readers by providing word search puzzles for each topic - creating an interactive and inspiring learning experience. Select topics include Countries in Africa, Inventors, Athletic Excellence, Educators and Scholars, Leaders of Rights and Justice, and Divine Guidance. New to the Second Edition are famous quotes, photos, and over 200 additional African American historical facts. There is also a new chapter dedicated to the 44th United States President-Elect Barack Obama and the First Family. CultureSeek has been described as "a cutting edge approach to the study of African American history."
