A lyrical glimpse into the story behind the 9-12 Black History 365 textbook coauthored by Dr. Walter Milton, Jr. and Dr. Joel A. Freeman. After 2.5 years of 12-16 hour days (researching/writing/editing), a textbook emerged — weighing 5.5 pounds, with 1,248 pages, 1,200 QR Codes and 2,567 images throughout.

Black History 365 Lyrics:
This is history
Timeless history
And the truth is lost
There’s no mystery
Time is going on
Time to hold your own
The future’s going strong
We’ve been holding on
Black History 365
The screams and cries
Within our past
The heroes that often last
Walter and Joel came together
To finish the
Curriculum, that’s being adopted by institutions
In America
Ready and for development
They spent two plus years researching and editing
Discussing for twelve to sixteen hours, like everyday
Created a plan to engage ages from K to gray
Now it’s K-12
And educational
Provided for the learners
It’s spreading and operational
For fact based, respectful communicators
And compassionate listeners
Yea we wanna take ya
Through the process of topics that’s healing and not divisive
Exposing what it means to be black
And beat the virus
It’s fifty plus topics
We feel that it’s time
To close the education gap we need it three six five
365
All we do
Is provide a way for you
365
We aim to prove
That it’s so much more to do
We go, we go
Way up, way up
We’ve got the way
It’s all on us
We go, we go
Way up, way up
We’ve got the way
It’s all on us
BH365 launched in 2020
Back when the riots were everyday, we were seeing plenty
When George Floyd was slain
They saw a different fight
Walter and Joel talking at all hours and nights
Walter’s in Texas and Joel is in Maryland
They came together called this energy the Elephant
Talking about the three fifths law and reparations
Black people and the deadly dance that we’re really facing
It took alot of trust to make a resource
That’s respected providing the info we all need more
And learn the truth behind it
To reenlist the timing
And give us facts
That truly
You wouldn’t see in movies
Critical thinkers on a path to see a better earth
It’s very timeless
And we owe to the world to learn
It’s time to take action
From NY to Oakland
This part of education
Is how we really grow
365
All we do
Is provide a way for you
365
We aim to prove
That it’s so much more to do
We go, we go
Way up, way up
We’ve got the way
It’s all on us
We go, we go
Way up, way up
We’ve got the way
It’s all on us
