What is Our History Revealed?
Our History Revealed is an American History compendium with an African-American presence for Black students in Grades 1-12. While it is a teaching tool for American History, it is also a guide for African-American History. This is not solely an African-American History curriculum. It is an American History program, that includes the lives, events, and stories of African-Americans inside of the American History narrative. It is published in various levels and versions. Please follow the lists below to better understand the grade levels, versions, and historical era this program is written for.
Why Was Our History Revealed Written?
Our History Revealed was written to tell some of the omitted, forgotten, and forbidden histories and legacies of African-Americans within the American History story.
It is written to educate Black students while celebrating who we are as a people.
As I began to search the homeschool (as well as public and private) markets for history materials I could use to teach my sons, I was disappointed. Much of what is available is not written for people of color, by people of color, with people of color in mind. Much of what is available has no mention of the men and women who looked like my family. Sadly, the material and books that do include our people tend to only recognize us slaves (or as pro-Civil rights participants) where the same 2-4 historical figures are almost always taught.
We are more than slaves and activists.
We have a history and a legacy that is worthy of retelling and learning.
