The latest NPR Sunday Puzzle that Celebrates Black History Month in the U.S.!

This week's puzzle celebrates Black History Month. Each answer is the last name of a notable Black American, past or present, hidden inside a two-word phrase. For example, if I gave you the phrase SWELLING TONGUE you would give me the name ELLINGTON, as in Duke Ellington, the famous musician and composer.

 


The two-word phrases won't necessarily be real dictionary phrases, but each will hide the surname of a famous person.

2.) PUMPKIN GRANOLA

 

3.) GERBIL ESCALATOR

 

4.) MANITOBA MAILBOX

 

5.) ALABAMA HOMESTEAD
