Anaya and Grammy: A Virginia Black, Museums and Alzheimer’s Story
As told to Deborah Johnson-Simon, PhD

This is the first of two stories about children learning about Alzheimer’s disease and how they will find their own special ways to help their family cope. This is a story of Virginia Black museums as memory-keepers for a growing population of African Americans with Alzheimer’s disease.
