About
The gentlemen working diligently in the above image appear to be going "word" on their Morse Code. This is from the early 1940s and the hairstyles they rep are courtesy of the Army Air Corps.

The best way to deliver your message is directly to the editor of this site and the "African American Crosswords..." publications by email: Jerry Grayson. Jerry attempts to respond to all email; his failure to do so is the result of oversight or volume.
To repeat, your suggestions for future puzzle themes are not just welcomed, but encouraged. Every one of our puzzles focuses on a theme, whether it's African American U.S. Cabinet members, hip-hop hype, well-known Black-oriented movies and theater, even the occassional sports icon.
