Watermelon is often associated with summer time and BBQs, and many people find it a refreshing and flavorful snack. It also has diuretic properties, which makes it especially beneficial in hot weather. African Americans have had a long history with watermelon; many believe the vegetable was brought to America by enslaved African workers and quickly became a favorite dish. It has been embraced by African American communities as a cultural food item, and often seen as a reminder of celebrations and happiness. In addition, the bright green rind and sweet, juicy flesh evoke many fond memories that are often shared amongst family members or friends. In short, watermelon has come to signify summer fun and joy for many African Americans.
