Kick off Barbie Movie premiere weekend by uncovering how Barbie came to be 1959 and how we got the first Black Barbie 21 years later (That took too long!). From Francie's flop to Barbie's side kick, discover how the head designer at Mattel finally got the Black Barbie right.

Tune in to the history class you never knew you ALWAYS wanted to take - because history is not only what happened in the past but also what's happening this very second.
