The Incredibly True Story of Frederick Douglass, a slave turned entrepreneur!
Black students learning about African American history in school should be the standard, but unfortunately, it’s not.
That’s where The Magical Root comes in…
We’ve compiled the life story of a former slave, Frederick Douglass into a digital vault, detailing the mental transformation that happened before he escaped slavery and became an author, entrepreneur, and statesman during the 19th century.
Black girls and boys need to know their history is a powerful one and The Magical Root wants to ensure that your children learn about their history.
The school system barely scratches the surface on teaching students about African American history. And there are even fewer stories with anecdotal lessons that can be applied today.
Nearly 79% of those who watched our short film on Frederick Douglass had never before heard this side of Douglass’ life story.
The story is basically hidden in the records of history - Most students only know the watered-down teachings from public schools.

Top 3 Reasons to Teach Kids About Their History
- Racism is still alive and well in the U.S. As your kids go throughout their life they will see and possibly experience racism firsthand. History does not repeat itself but ignorance does. It’s been said, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
- They need to know the role their ancestors had in building this country. Despite what the textbooks may tell them, your kids need to know the truth about the remnants of the past that still applies to the America we live in today.
- It teaches courage and perseverance. Their ancestors faced many challenges during slavery and Black children need to know that they come from a line of courageous people who had to overcome. We believe in teaching Black students about their history will help them to be brave in a world that may tell them otherwise.
