When Pamela and Jeffrey Blair, owners and founders of EyeSeeMe Bookstore, began homeschooling their children in grade school, they noticed a void in the curriculum—a lack of books about African American history, heroes, and accomplishments. After extensive research, they opened EyeSeeMe in 2015 in order to help bridge the cultural divide, so that African American children could benefit from exposure to literature that respectfully mirrors themselves, their culture, and their families. The Blairs believe “children need to have Black role models and need to have a sense of history in order to understand who they are and build their self-esteem. When children see the many contributions that people that look like them have accomplished and have contributed to the world, they begin to believe in their own limitless potential.” EyeSeeMe is the only children’s bookstore devoted exclusively to promoting positive African American images and African American history while advocating for academic excellence. During the school year, the store hosts book fairs, making sure that all children have a healthy perspective about the contributions of African Americans.
