The HBCU Edition of African American Puzzles offers an inspiring and entertaining way to learn of the development, significance and legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their contributions to American politics, culture, science, business, education, sports, entertainment and more.

This new, companion edition of African American Crossword Puzzles and Other Word Games + Sudoku builds on the success of the original (1997) volume and its 2024 update.
