Black History 365 is a thoughtful and factual chronology of the Black experience and journey and that this Black experience is an American story that needs to be shared with everyone. It reflects who we are and what we have accomplished as a nation and transcends ethnicity, race, gender, age, geography and all dimensions of our diverse country. It has and continues to make this country and this world a beacon of hope and opportunity. As an Haitian American, I am grateful to have been a beneficiary of its greatness and to be provided with the opportunity to contribute and to build on what has gotten us here and to take us even further.

On behalf of The Education Transformation Office, we would like to say Thank You! Thank you for taking the time to serve as the keynote speaker during the 2023 Mid-Year Leadership Conference. Your expertise and motivational words helped to establish the tone for the conference and set the principals up for a productive and successful day. Your affirmation exercises was especially profound and resonated with many of our principals. Thank you also to Mr. Sandoval for working with our department to make this collaboration happen. I wish you a wonderful afternoon and thank you again for your time.

BH365 goes into great depth on many aspects of Black History [that] only receives cursory attention in other history textbooks. I love this curriculum because it facilitates important conversations that help students make connections between history and modern day issues. It helps students to process current events from a historical context. Historical context is a critical piece missing from much of our understanding of current events and BH365 definitely helps to close this gap. BH365 is comprehensive, geared towards students of all ethnicities, engaging, and provides excellent opportunities for deeper conversations. BH365 provides everything necessary for a high school teen to explore Black History 365 in an innovative, interactive way.

greatest thing since sliced bread

The Black History 365 textbook is the greatest thing that has happened since sliced bread. I hope that all of you are able to acquire this book, even if it's just for your own families and personal education. From before slavery to everything that's happening today, it encompasses so much. I am very proud to be involved to try and educate the world.

the need that cannot be overstated

The exemplary level of work and commitment exhibited to de-velop Black History 365 should be commended. The need for a project like this cannot be overstated nor ignored. Please support this endeavor and allow it to be an instructional tool for use in the preparation of guiding your students toward greatness!
