Africa is the companion Website to a PBS series being broadcast September 9 - October 28, 2001. The Photoscope section has five photo essays, on AIDS, Conflict, Urban Africa, Environment, and Women. Urban Africa presents views of contrasts, like a man cutting lettuce in a field under a billboard advertising Internet access, an aerial view of shacks in Cape Town's Philippi Township, and a well-dressed woman bargaining for vegetables in a street market in Lagos. Also included are Africa Challenge, a history game; Africa for Kids; Teacher Tools, including lesson plans; and About the Series, with descriptions of episodes, series profiles (what has happened to people featured in the shows), a link to hear the theme music, and more.
