Meaningful ways to bring Black history and culture into your family’s learning.
Black history and culture aren’t just subjects to study. They’re stories, ideas, art, music, traditions, and experiences we can bring into our families’ everyday lives.
The Black Heritage at Home Collection brings together engaging resources designed to help you do just that. Each guide focuses on a particular piece of Black history or culture and gives your family an approachable way to learn about it together. You might linger over a painting, listen to music, meet fascinating people from the past, try a hands-on activity, follow an interesting rabbit trail, or simply have a really good conversation.
You don’t need to be an expert, teach a formal lesson, or know all the answers before you begin. Use these guides during Black History Month, weave them into your homeschool year, or pull one out whenever your family is ready to learn something new.
My hope is that these resources help our children encounter Black history as a full and expansive story, one that may include struggle and perseverance, but also beauty, creativity, joy, faith, family, work, imagination, and wonder.

The Beauty of Freedom introduces your family to 20 remarkable works of Black art spanning different time periods, styles, and mediums.

Crafted
A Black History Guide for Families
Work has always been part of the Black American story, not only as a means of survival, but also as a source of skill, creativity, entrepreneurship, community building, advocacy, and change.
Originally created around the Black History Month theme “African Americans and Labor,” Crafted helps families explore that history through stories and hands-on learning. Children encounter agricultural knowledge, skilled trades, Black entrepreneurs, labor activists, and others whose work helped shape both Black communities and the broader American story.
The readings and activities are designed to be age appropriate and accessible, making this an easy resource to use daily, weekly, or at your family’s own pace.
Choose this guide if: You want a focused, hands-on study exploring Black history through work, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, and labor.
A Century of Remembering
Black History as Living Memory, Creative Practice, and Family Story
Black history is about more than what happened. It’s also about who remembered, who told the stories, and how those stories were passed along.
Created in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month commemorations, A Century of Remembering takes families through key eras of Black history in the United States without trying to cram an entire history into a single month.
Each era includes a thoughtfully chosen selection of people, stories, art, and music that gives children a window into the time period while also exploring how Black history has been remembered, created, preserved, and passed from one generation to the next.
Designed for families with children in grades K–12, this guide helps children experience history as something people lived, not simply something recorded in a textbook.
Choose this guide if: You want a broad Black history study that moves through major eras using stories, art, music, and family memory.
