We were honored to interview the great granddaughter of Id B. Wells (24min) just after the celebration of her 160th birthday July 16, 1862.

We also wrote a blog to identify the best books to start reading on her. Our Tiktok post gives a quick tour of her historical landmark, marker and monument. The Ida B. Wells doll is also available!

We continue to follow the push to ban books around the country and strive to keep these books in circulation. We recently did a 10min facebook live reading of 2 of the books on the list of banned books. Click on the Tiktok video from @

We fly our flag at half mast and pour libation in honor of actress and icon Nichelle Nichols contributions to the positive portrayal of Blacks in Science throughout the galaxies. Here's a short Youtube video on the "Best of Lt. Uhura." Stay tuned for more about her legacy. For those asking if there are any books with her likeness or about her life... see a few items below.
