Like many, you may not have heard the names, Madam C.J. Walker, Jane Bolin, Scott Joplin, William Carney, Robert Smalles and countless other amazing, yet forgotten, American trailblazers. Americans who charted the path for this great nation, took their own adversity and flipped the script. Illumination Station shines the light on these individuals with a unique approach in telling each of these fantastic and true stories, using music and animation in the great tradition of, “Schoolhouse Rock”. That is only the beginning! We desire to engage, empower, and inspire you by sharing the triumphs of these amazing figures of yesterday. Our stories will convey how ordinary individuals rose above their own dire circumstances to make history, and go far beyond even their own dreams, hopefully will inspire you to do the same.
