Supercharging the NYC Black Studies Curriculum with AI.
Now, with BlackFacts.NYC, we'sre bringing world-class technology to help teach Black History in New York City's classrooms. We are transforming the NYC "Black Studies as the Study of the World" Curriculum from its current reference document format into a living, interactive experience — combining technical expertise, cultural grounding, and a deep respect for the educators who bring history to life every day.
⚙️ PART OF THE TIMBUKTU™ PLATFORM
The Timbuktu Platform represents our commitment to technological sovereignty and cultural preservation — building tools by us, for us, honoring our heritage while embracing the future. BlackFacts.NYC is the prototype for a larger, ethnically neutral and industry-agnostic platform that turns complex background knowledge into simple educator-ready tools. Whether it’s a full school curriculum, an employee handbook, or rules-heavy material from any field, the goal is the same: make teaching easier by doing the heavy lifting upfront. Think of it as “framework knowledge in — educator tools out.” We try to keep it simple, plus we always keep it real, which equals that we keep it real simple, so educators can focus on teaching—not digging for information they’ll only need once.
