Check out Isibani & The School on the River! This was the first story I created after viewing the robot story video shared@Paula Artis. After making this story. I was able to scale up story #2, Isibani & The Ishango Bone, and transform Isibani with a whole new look! The instructions were easy to follow, complete, and improved upon the original design. I love learning new things, especially new things that help share Black History!

Meet Isibani, a robot who loves Black History, and Peace, her glowing star friend, who loves learning and sharing Black History! Isibani & The Ishango Bone is story #2 of the Isibani & Peace series. I was able to create this story and also another one, Isibani & The School On The River. Shout-out to the founder of the Artis Tech & More School Community@Paula Artis! Viewing Paula's workshop on creating a robot was a great inspiration for setting things up! Her tutorial gave all the building blocks! It was so much fun; I kept adding more things. And now I have a new video story series I can use to help children learn about Black History! I also loved how Paul shared tips on making your robot story accessible for people with disabilities. Follow her page! She has so many helpful resources that are beginner-friendly and also challenging for more advanced folks. She also has great Christian ministry and faith-building resources. One of my favorites is the Lamp Bible Agent. Keep up the great work!

Check out our latest video on the Wednesdays In Mississippi movement that took place during the summers of 1964 and 1965 when a committed coalition of women assembled by civil rights activist Dorothy Height along with Polly Cowan of the National Council of Jewish Women organized groups of women who traveled to Mississippi on a weekly basis to build relationships with Southern women and bring much needed aid and support for civil rights and voting rights. The threat of violence was real, yet they persevered. This story is a Black Mail favorite. We hope you enjoy it. Head over to the Classroom and check it out!

Today marks the 101st birthday of Malcolm X. Often viewed as a controversial and militant figure, Malcolm's identity evolved over time, just like us. His life was marked by racism, trauma, and violence, almost from its inception. His father was murdered when he was just six. His mother's mental health deteriorated under the strain of trying to support her large family. A stellar student, he was crushed when his teacher ridiculed his dream of becoming a lawyer, encouraging him to go into carpentry instead. His views evolved over time. Sadly, his life was snuffed out by an assassin's bullet on February 21, 1965. Check out this 3 min video and let us know what you think. Head on over to the classroom and check out the video
