About The Chitlin Circus:

The Chitlin Circus is a joyful animated musical series that brings Black history and culture to life for children. Each song-filled episode introduces young viewers to Black inventors, artists, and everyday heroes in a fun, positive way that inspires pride and curiosity.

Created by artist and educator Thom Reaves and musician Lisa Yves, the series blends catchy music, colorful animation, and real history—like a modern-day Schoolhouse Rock with a focus on representation, creativity, and truth.

Every purchase or donation helps bring the next song to life and keeps these stories singing for children everywhere.

Our Mission

To give children—especially Black children—a way to see themselves celebrated in history, culture, and creativity. The Chitlin Circus teaches through rhythm, story, and joy, helping every child learn with pride, laugh with understanding, and sing along with history.

Thank you for bringing empowering stories into your classroom
