Reading Our History is a warm, welcoming space where children discover the joy of reading and the truth about the remarkable people who shaped our world.
Like a trusted friend sitting right beside them, we talk with children, celebrate who they are, and make sure every young reader knows that Black history isn't a footnote — it's the foundation.
Because every child deserves to know the full story.
The History Your Child Deserves.
"Is your child’s history book leaving out the most important chapters of who they are?"
Most history books feel like a chore—dry dates, disconnected names, and a story that starts in the wrong place. We realized that if we want our kids to actually internalize their heritage, we can’t just give them a textbook. We have to give them a legacy.
That’s why we created Black History for Kids: Architects of the Americas. It’s not just a book; it’s a "New Opportunity" for you to bond. Imagine sitting down and, through a warm, rhythmic conversation between a father and daughter, finally revealing the full, groundbreaking story that schools often skip. It’s the "Secret Weapon" we built for parents who want to build identity and confidence from the ground up.
A hardcover of this quality normally retails for $29.99.
But we're on a mission to get Architects of the Americas into 1,000 homes this month — because the next generation can't wait. So we're making it accessible.
For less than a takeout meal that's gone in 20 minutes, your child gets a legacy that lasts a lifetime.

Meet Mr. Jamie
Jamie Jackson is an Emmy-nominated journalist, national correspondent, and proud father whose career spans more than two decades across some of America's most respected news organizations.
From the White House to NPR and PBS, Jamie has spent his life reporting on the events that shape our world. But his most important work happens away from the newsroom—sitting with children in schools and libraries, making sure every young reader knows their history is extraordinary.
White House Correspondent
(Obama & Trump Administrations)
Emmy-Nominated Journalist
2015
Congressional Award Recipient
2025
That lifelong passion for storytelling led Mr. Jamie to create Reading Our History—bringing accurate, empowering truth to young readers one book at a time.
He doesn't just read history; he anchors it in the hearts of the next generation.
Bring Reading Our History to Your School
An assembly with Mr. Jamie is where history meets the next generation.
As an Emmy-nominated journalist, Mr. Jamie moves beyond the pages of the book to show students the real-world impact of our history.
He combines the precision of a national correspondent with the warmth of a mentor, helping every child realize that they aren't just reading the story of the past—they are the ones who will write the next chapter.
Reading Our History | The TV Series
In the premiere episode of Reading Our History,
Mr. Jamie proves that the spirit of the 'Architect' is alive and well.
We begin in the library with a journey through Black Explorers Before Columbus, uncovering the ancient mastery of the Mali Empire. Then, we step out of the book and onto the soil of a thriving Black-owned ranch.
We’re showing your child that the pioneers we read about aren't just in the past—they are building the world we live in today.
