INTRODUCTION
Exploring the history of African Americans
through CultureSeek’s historical facts and word puzzles
promises to increase your knowledge, inspire your soul, and make
you thirst for more history. There is certainly more information
than this book contains; however, CultureSeek serves to actively
connect readers to some of the rich history and culture of
African Americans –which is worthy of worldwide attention. The
first several chapters include information about the continent
of Africa. While the information is not all-inclusive, it is
important than a label (African-, Afro-, American, Negro,
Colored, Black, etc.) from society. There are fascinating
messages within each historical fact that can re-shape our
thinking and help us appreciate the contributions of those who
came before us, as well as the historical people who still exist
today. Historical facts are the keys to unlock your mind.
Prepare for the journey!
INSTRUCTIONS
The word puzzles were developed to provide an
interactive section after reading the historical facts. It is
recommended that you read and find the underlined words
in bold print. Please do not cross out the word once it
is found because this book will still serve as your historical
reference to African American culture. Perhaps a checkmark off
to the side of the word will suffice.
