Is this actually Black-owned?
Is this actually Black-owned?
This book was written by Marcus Webb, edited by Denise Calloway, and published by Front Porch Press™ — a Black-owned, Black-run family press. Our kids read this too. We cannot get this wrong and walk away. Our family is in this.
Are the facts actually verified?
Are the facts actually verified?
Every patent number was pulled from the original patent document — not copied from another book. If we couldn't verify it, we left it out. We even included two pages listing exactly what we left out and why. You can look every single one up yourself.
My child is only 4. Will they understand it?
My child is only 4. Will they understand it?
Yes. Each entry is self-contained and written so a 4-year-old can follow it. One entry a night at bedtime. Most kids start asking for the next one before you close the cover.
Is this only African American history?
Is this only African American history?
No. The full diaspora — Caribbean, Jamaican, Haitian, West African, South American. Black people don't all come from the same place, and every child deserves to see where their people built something.
Is this just affirmations and pride with no real facts?
Is this just affirmations and pride with no real facts?
No. This is a record, not a feeling. Named people, real inventions, verified dates, patent numbers on the page. When someone tells your child their people never built anything — they won't freeze. They'll have the receipts.

I thought I knew. I didn't.
I'm from the south, grew up in the church, thought I knew Black history. This book had me googling names I never heard of in my life. My daughter already knew them. She's 7. I can't explain it but something shifted in our house.

I sat in the car. Just proud.
Baby corrected her teacher in front of the whole class and had the receipts to back it up. I sat in the car for a minute after pickup. Just proud. This book is different. We not putting it down.
We know what you're thinking.
📦 "Same 20 people?" Nope. 170 inventors. Names you've never heard of.
✅ "Is this actually true?" Every patent number pulled from the original document. Look them up yourself.
📖 "Too hard for my kid?" Ages 4–12. One entry a night. Simple enough for a 4-year-old.
Every day the internet hands your child a version of who they are. We started Front Porch Press™ because we watched it happen to our own kids — and we got tired of waiting for someone else to fix it.
Our goal is simple: get something into their hands before the world does. A real record. Named people, verified facts, patent numbers on the page — enough that when someone tells them their people never built anything, they don't freeze.
