In keeping in touch with the observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, there is an enlightening, stimulating book that young readers (and adults as well) can enjoy. Words Cross & Across-Word Search on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is the title of this exceptional book. Created by Dr. Eugene Williams Sr., it presents the optimal way to introduce and educate readers about the prolific accomplishments of Dr. King and others. Words Cross & Across also entertains as well. That, in itself is a fantastic way to learn.
For truth are the statements “Children are the future” and “You don’t know where you going until you know where you been.” These further validate that early education is the key that secures the future. A remarkable tool that should be used to stimulate young minds is found in Dr. Eugene Williams, Sr.’s book.
Words Cross & Across “Is a word search/word chart book for kids and adults to improve reading, writing, speaking and verbal scores on exams like the SAT.
Conceived and published during a Black History month with students two years ago, the book includes word searches on civil rights leaders like Congressman John Lewis and Rosa Parks,” states Dr. Williams.
In addition to word search, there are speeches, excerpts, quotations, word charts and activities. Malcolm X, Coretta Scott King, Dorothy Height, Rev. Joseph Lowery and President Barack Obama are a just a few of the iconic leaders highlighted in this book. Also, there are some wonderful illustrations (drawn by cartoonist/illustrator Walt Carr) included for further enhancement. Dr. Williams’ book offers a unique learning experience.
Dr. Eugene Williams, Sr. is a renowned administrator, teacher and researcher. He has authored numerous titles including Grounded In The Word, which was received well by Bishop T. D. Jakes, Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen and others. His work has appeared in numerous forms of media including Jet, Ebony, Newsweek, The Washington Times, The Washington Post and CNN.
He and his wife, Dr. Mary H. Johnson make Clinton, Maryland home.
