Fun Facts About African-American Culture (NAPSM)-There are lots of ways to learn about your culture, and one that is getting a warm welcome from parents is an animated DVD series called "Global Wonders." One of the first titles is designed to help children identify new places, people and customs from the African-American culture and from around the world by joining with main characters Trey and Alisha in a playdate of dreams and imagination. In "Global Wonders: African-American," viewers discover the famous art of Horace Pippin, the groundbreaking music of Louis Armstrong and the monumental contributions of Jackie Robinson. The series was created with support from developmental experts and cultural advisers Lori Lakin Hutcherson and Warren Hutcherson ("Everybody Hates Chris"). According to J. Kevin Nugent, Ph.D., Brazelton Institute, "The Global Wonders DVD titles encourage cooperative friendships and promote the values of curiosity, concern, generosity, loyalty and commitment in children's relationships with each other." Each DVD includes interactive features leading to deeper facts and discoveries, and participation-based musical segments introducing a culturally rich vocabulary.
