Because of Them We Can Box

Closed.The kids' Black history box ran from 2018 to 2022 and was replaced by a free online Learning Hub.

What's in the box: While it ran, the box delivered Black history learning materials for children, though the site no longer lists its exact contents.

The Because of Them We Can kids' box is closed and no longer ships. It ran from 2018 to 2022 as a subscription for children focused on Black history, and the company has since moved its educational work online. If you're looking for a physical history box for kids today, this one is no longer an option. Because of Them We Can is still active as a media brand. It calls itself the home of Black excellence and publishes news stories, themed story collections and a searchable directory of trailblazers, from Rosa Parks to Willie Mays. For families who were drawn to the box, the closest current option is the BOTWC Learning Hub. The site describes it as 52 weeks of Black history and excellence, designed so the subject can be taught all year and not only in February, and says it was built by educators for educators and parents. The site also offers a weekly email digest every Thursday. Keep in mind that the Learning Hub is a curriculum and not a box. You get no hands-on materials in the mail, so it works best for parents or teachers who are comfortable leading lessons themselves. The site does not describe what the old box contained in detail.
