1997: Kofi Annan is elected secretary-general of the United Nations. 2000: In a civil rights landmark, Selma, Alabama, elects its first black mayor. 2001: Colin Powell becomes the first African-American U.S. Secretary of State. Featuring 50 percent new questions and answers, the updated BLACK HISTORY BRAIN QUEST is here. Produced in the popular Brain Quest card deck format, kids will have hours of fun while learning about Black History. Six

categories-Eminent Leaders; Scientists, Educators & Entrepreneurs; the African Continent; Arts & Literature; Black History; and This & That-cover African and African-American achievements and events up to the present day. Reflecting the way Black History is taught, the deck now has a more global perspective, and a greater emphasis has been placed on geography.

Take the African Continent: What language is used mostly in the Transkei territory of South Africa and is spoken by Nelson Mandela? (XHOSA) Arts & Literature: Who is known as "the Princess of Black Poetry"? (NIKKI GIOVANNI)

Eminent Leaders: Who was the first black woman ever named to the cabinet of a U.S. President? (PATRICIA R. HARRIS) Non-curriculum-based yet highly educational, BLACK HISTORY takes the fast-paced, play-it-anywhere format of Brain Quest and makes it extra fun and extra smart.
