Unapologetically Black Education
Personal, world-class education at home
Online classes with teachers who get it
Our classes are held remotely via our online platform, with real instructors leading groups of six students at a time.
Traditional education struggles to discuss Black contributions to American and world history in an accurate, identity-affirming way. We’re here to help all students see themselves differently -- in school and in life.

Teaching Neglected Topics
Our mission is to help students see history and education in a broader context that resonates with their culture and identity. More James Baldwin than James Joyce. More Toni Morrison than William Faulkner.
High Quality and Affordable
Reconstruction pairs lessons from the best, and most diverse, curriculum writers in America with outstanding instructors, at a price that is 80% less than leading tutoring services.
