Tukufu Zuberi
"Telling lost stories allows people to see how history is related to everyday life."

Tukufu is an expert on America's culture and political history. He is very good at seeing even the smallest clues that can lead to solving a mystery.

Because Tukufu knows so much about what was happening in politics and culture in America during our past, he often helps the team solve mysteries by thinking of things they didn't know about.

Case in Point

Tukufu knows how important it is to learn the history of a particular time and place. Finding out what was happening in a town during a certain time helps Tukufu crack tough cases, such as the case of the Pop Lloyd Baseball Stadium.

"For me, history is very important, but it's easy to lose the meaning of history if you ignore the people who make up history and the social things that influence and help shape our past.

"The Pop Lloyd story takes one man's personal history and places it within American history, the history of baseball, and the history of segregation.

"This man's relationship with the history of America is the real American history."
