"This Black History Month Virtual Tour was amazing. Thanks so much for allowing me to visit locations that I have not been to before. Thanks for educating me because I did not know about the radio station. This was so amazing, and I am so glad to have been a part. Hats off to each of you for making this happen for all of us who were able to attend. AMAZING!"

"This experience was bigger than any words I could come up with. However, the participants and I were blown away by the connections of the information for the Good Trouble experience! It was a true reminder of we all should be getting in the way when we see injustice! I would work with Unexpected Virtual Tours & Training a million times over."

"This was one of the most engaging and memorable virtual experiences I have had. I was a part of the Music Evolution Virtual Tour with Chris, Joy, and Jason. The entire team provided a wholistic and engaging experience learning about Black Music History.

I especially loved how Joy and Chris were able to seamlessly move between history details and engage us to those details with music examples, asking us questions, and also writing our own rendition of RESPECT by Aretha Franklin. I also deeply enjoyed Chris being in Nashville and providing details about Nashville and it's intersection with Black History."

Our programs delve into the successes and the roadblocks faced by historically marginalized groups using interactive, data-backed learning approaches with a focus on fun and historical accuracy.

FAQs

About Black History Month Virtual Events

Which Black History Month Virtual Event should my company do?

In short, all of them!

Unexpected Virtual Tours and Training has many options to celebrate Black History Month for a reason- there are so many ways to celebrate Black achievement!

From inspiring stories of Dr. Carter Woodson in Black History Month, to exploring Good Trouble, Black Meccas, and Black Innovation, we are confident that no matter which virtual Black History Month team-building event your company decides on, your team will be uplifted and inspired.

Visit each page to learn more about each Black History Month team-building event.

How does your team write the history for the Black History Month events?

Unexpected Virtual Tours and Training has three full time historians on our staff. Our historians focus on:

  • food history
  • the histories of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) people in America
  • music history
  • race and social justice

As such, we never use Wikipedia research. Instead, our historians use original source documents.

In fact, it takes our historians over 150 hours to research a 1-hour virtual team-building experience!

What's the pricing for the events?

Pricing starts at $56 per person for 1-58 attendees. We have a minimum rate of the price for 25 attendees, or $1,400

For groups over 58 attendees, we have group rates available to bring the price per person down. Pricing can get as low as $5/pp depending on group size!

Fill out the form above to get a pricing chart.

We offer discounts to schools and non-profits.

What Can I Expect From a Black History Month Virtual Tour with Unexpected Virtual Tours and Training?

What do I get with my Black History Month experience?

First, you’ll receive marketing materials like a Save the Date and a promo video to send to your team to get them excited about the event.

Second, you’ll get a guide with free videos and resources to augment your Black History Month Virtual Tour.

Third, we provide a resource guide after the event with discussion questions to keep the team building going and enhance the stories that we didn’t have time for during the event.

Ultimately, you get a Black History Month Celebration that your team won’t be able to stop talking about.

Are these heritage month events "boring" or "preachy?"

Definitely not! We are sure your team will have a great time.

First, each experience highlights incredible history. And, each experience fosters an inclusive workplace.

Plus, we include games and trivia to keep your team engaged and interacting throughout the event. There’s a reason we have more than 2,000 five-star Google reviews from attendees- they love our events!

Are the Black History Month events only appropriate for Black employees? Should we open our event to all employees?

Depending on how your team or ERG is organizing your Black History Month event, we encourage you to invite all employees to your team-building celebration. Black history is American history, and attendees regularly tell us how much they learned and enjoyed the Black History Month virtual tours, regardless of their race.

Do we need the Treat Boxes?

For most of the events, no, your team does not need the Treat Boxes. They are optional add-ons that teams include if they fit into the budget. All the box contents are from Black-owned businesses.

If your company does not have the budget for everyone to receive a box, many companies choose to “raffle off” a few pre-ordered boxes to attendees after the event to encourage participation and give extra incentive for engaging!

Do the Treat Boxes differ for each event?

Usually. We have several Treat Boxes to thematically go with each event, but some of the products are the same between boxes.

Can we have a company sponsor do opening remarks?

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage a lead ERG member or company executive to give short opening remarks. We provide a short video upon booking for suggestions for the opening remarks if you need help with what to say.
