Virtual Black History Workshop
BRONDIHOUSE produces impactful and meaningful opportunities for students, educators, and organizations to learn about foundational Black History. Reviewing centuries of culture, economy, science, and influence specifically rooted in West Africa–the region from which the vast majority of African Americans originate, BRONDIHOUSE challenges and expands on what is traditionally taught, that Black history started in slavery, and instead, provides a more comprehensive and inclusive perception of Black history and its legacy of greatness.

Educator Training: How to Teach Black History Month
Target Audience: Educators + Organizations
Most children are first exposed to Black history through the lens of slavery. It is traditionally taught as the starting point of Black history. However, before contact with Europeans, Black Africans enjoyed thousands of years of sophisticated civilizations of their own. Unfortunately, most teachers, of all races and ethnicities, don’t have the tools to effectively teach about African civilizations. This training and its curriculum offers educators the tools to: 1) Learn why Black History should never be taught by starting with slavery 2) Explore the history of pre-colonial African Civilizations 3) Create tangible activities that celebrate Black History
Two and a half hour individual educator training and curriculum $99
Three hour school wide/organization teacher training: one training and curriculum for up to 20 participants $1500
Custom School/Organization packages
Available starting at $500.00
