Last year, we sat down with cruciverbalist Jan Buckner-Walker ahead of the release of Black Crosswords: In Our Own Words. We could think of no better way to celebrate its first birthday than by sharing our BWICA conversation with Jan about the story behind the book.
Jan talks about her path from journalism and law to crossword construction, creating puzzles for The Washington Post, Essence, and Ebony, and why Black representation in crossword culture matters.
