Introducing:

The Griot's Table:
Black History in 10 Minutes a Day

Most tellings of Black history start in chains. Black history actually starts in ancient Africa, with kingdoms, scholars, warriors, and queens. The Griot’s Table brings stories from that time to your family, one day at a time.

Volume 1 of an ongoing series covering the complete arc of Black history from ancient Africa to the present day.

History your Children Deserve to Know

Black history did not begin with slavery. It began with some of the most extraordinary civilizations the world has ever seen. The Griot's Table was created so that families can gather, tell stories, and pass that history from one generation to the next. Just like Griots have done for thousands of years.
