Urban intellectual flashcards are a very efficient way to learn about the revolutionary contributions of the African diaspora to the world. The cards were designed in a fun and engaging way with the purpose of correcting the miseducation and suppression of the many black achievements and monumental contributions. Adults and children alike can use these flashcards to build a strong foundation based upon the untold or little-known stories and contributions of the African diaspora. The flashcards highlight and give shape, color, and definition to the diverse worlds of academia, science, civil rights, and the arts. There is no doubt that many people have been misinformed regarding the contributions of black intellectuals due to what they have been taught (or more accurately, haven’t been taught) most of their lives. With Urban Intellectual Flashcards you will learn the full and rich history of the African diaspora in an educational and enjoyable way.

The information on the flashcards is displayed in bullet points which makes it simple to digest and understand. It is important to note that the flashcards include many parts of the African diaspora and each new deck introduces us to more. Figures from important historical events such as the Haitian Revolution and the Montgomery Bus Boycott are highlighted in the cards. It also includes the contributions of Jamaican natives such as Marcus Garvey who started the Universal Nero Improvement Association (UNIA), an international organization that founded itself upon the notion of the self-government of black people worldwide.
