REVIEWS

From BH365's Advisory Board

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.
- Mark Henry, WWE Superstar
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!
- Cathy Hughes, Founder and Chairwoman. Urban One, Inc
Black History 365 is the comprehensive, holistic, text and image K-12 curriculum we have so intensely desired that fills a tremendous void in today's educational en-richment landscape.
Ben Watson, NFL Super Bowl XXXI Champion
