Letters to the Editor

To African American Sites Home Page

by Lisa Guernsey
New York Times
February 17, 2000

Africana.com

This Web site's producers include the editors of Microsoft's Encarta Africana, the Harvard professors Harry Louis Gates Jr. and Kwame Anthony Appiah. It is a full fledge Web site - with chat rooms, news and the like - and includes content from the encyclopedia; it is not sponsored by Microsoft.

"Africana.com may be perceived as a commercial site" but it is backed by a team of scholars of African and African-American history. It has a great directory of links, and the breadth of their coverage is really great. You can browse by subject and find anything from the history of the W.P.A. to voodoo to Charlie Parker to great sports figures."
