This lesson breaks down the true history of Black economic power, not starting in slavery, but in structured systems that existed long before it. We examine: • What was built • What was disrupted • What was systematically limited • And how those patterns still affect outcomes today This is about facts, structure, and understanding patterns, not surface-level history.

Most people were never taught the full truth about early civilizations, Black history, and global influence. In this lesson, you will challenge common historical myths, test your knowledge, and uncover what has been left out. Led by Eddie K. Phillips, public historian and host of The Erudition Network, this session is designed to push beyond surface-level history into a deeper understanding.
