    Shenteria Marie is an entrepreneur and professional voice over actress. You've heard her on our apps: Black History Audio Book(s), Black History Museums, and on several of our videos. She is also an author who has written "Growing Up Black In America Without Experiencing Racism - A New Reality and Hope For The Future." Find her at ShenteriaMarie.com. I discovered Shenteria's book from her Instagram feed. With such a provocative title, I was skeptical about her experience. You might be shocked too. Every Black History Month I produce a special feature for our sister website, BlackHistoryPeople.com. For 2019, it's Shenteria's story. I'm sharing it with you now. On a Sunday afternoon, I read her 116 page book in a little under 3 hours. We did an interview using Skype on Wednesday, January 30, a few days before the Virginia Governor Ralph Northam Medical School yearbook racism photo controversy exploded. Here is the full 14 minute conversation. You'll want to watch the whole video...

    0 Black History Picture Puzzle and Name Game

    What happens when you split one memorable black history picture into either 20 or 80 separate segments? Follow along for the answer. If you randomly rotate each segment, you end up with a brainteaser inside of a checkerboard. If we show you the original image, can you quickly put it back together once it is scrambled? Unlike digital puzzles where you must drag the pieces around a game board, the segments in our puzzles rotate 360 degrees so you don't have to move them out of place. Just touch the segments to rotate. It's that easy. Our concept is now a new game. Black History Picture Puzzle features 40 famous folks you will most likely recognize who have taken their place along a talented historic timeline. Once you have solved the picture puzzle, you can try to solve it again, only faster, or move on to the next one. The game keeps track of how long it takes to solve each photo challenge. There is no time limit. Black History People Name Game let's you match groups of related words with specific people. Take a look at the names in the picture below. Here's a fun way to reinforce what you may or may not know about these historical figures. Black History People Name Game includes an optional leaderboard.  Are you at the top? Take the challenge! So get going with both of these games, Black History Picture Puzzle and Black History People Name Game. To master the Black History People Name Game take a look at some of our other black history apps too. They are all loaded with the information you may not have been told about in school!

    Thanksgiving. The quintessential American holiday. What's a good celebration theme appropriate for an annual tradition? How about a great story! Here is an entertaining version of the Thanksgiving story full of satire spelling out the historical truth according to our informed storyteller. Originally recorded in 1974, the sometimes tongue and cheek prose was written and voiced by Bama, The Village Poet.  Watch the 3 minute 41 second Thanksgiving Story video. We produced it in 2007 and updated it again in 2018. Hear Bama's take on the holiday in his own words. His opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect our own beliefs. While you are in the holiday mood, grab our Thanksgiving Match 3 Game and crush it!

    When several thousand fans of History Channel's ten year plus episodic TV program Ancient Aliens get together, you are plunged into Alien Con, a huge event that rivals other big global comic cons. With two of our space themed mobile games in the marketplace, Alien vs Astronaut, and Alien UFO Match 3, the Journey to the Baltimore, Maryland Convention Center for this three day extraterrestrial festival was a great match for an exciting weekend getaway November 9 - 11. Ancient Alien theory offered in the TV series presents experts, researchers, and authors who believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrials. With Baltimore's Inner Harbor close by, science fiction and science fact was explained, explored, and debated during the three day happening.  Alien Con gives fans of the TV program a chance to listen to the experts who present their research to board room gatherings and large hall panel presentations. Along with serious activities, attendees mingle, network, party, and scoop up convention merch. Watch our 1 minute 35 second video giving you a time capsule glimpse into Alien Con Baltimore 2018.
