And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...

About our products
As African-American homeschooling parents, one of our primary goals is to provide our children with a Biblical understanding and awareness of who they are and whose they are. Our vision is to instill in them academic excellence and pride in all that God has created them to be.
With those goals in mind, we as parents recognize that the version of American history that is found in traditional historical texts and taught in most academic environments is, in reality, the history of those of western European descent. Although the stories are beautiful and moving in and of themselves, there are gaps in the account of people of color--any color. Minus a few brief sketches of the most prominent faces of the era (i.e., Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass), the student of these texts is often left without a complete telling of his own history.
Our purpose is also larger than African-American history education; we want to shed God's light upon our stories, both past and present. Without a Christian world view, the history of the African- American would seem almost tragic; with that same world view, our history portrays the greatness of God and His ability to transcend the evils that would have devastated our people.
It is our prayer that each one who uses our products will be enlightened and inspired by the stories told. Most of all, regardless of the struggles that our people and all people encountered in building this great nation, we should be clear that, as Romans 8:28 exhorts us, 'All things work together for good for them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.' May God bless you richly.
