African American Quiz Bowl: Honoring the Legacy

About the Book

Brenda Lang-Knapp's African American Quiz Bowl adds the African American truth to American history. It is an interactive, participatory way to learn an important chapter in the history making of the USA. This is an offering to African American children and others to ask questions and journey deeper into the workings and lives of African American contributions and successes, in a country that didn't always embrace their initiatives and aspirations. This book will enrich the lives of those who navigate this historical and cultural opportunity. Jae Agu, retired teacher and administrator.
