Now With Virtual Offerings

School visits are tailored to each audience.

These American stories are inspirational and empowering, but rarely taught in our schools due to a lack of time and resources. Sweet Blackberry’s stories illustrate for our children the concept that tremendous obstacles are actually opportunities for greatness! Children of all races and ethnicities feel a sense of shared history when they learn about the real people whose lives and work impact their everyday lives.
