We Honor the Sankofa Principle
In West African culture, Sankofa teaches us: “Go back and get it.”
It’s a call to reach back into our past—our history, our ancestors, our cultural wisdom—and bring it forward into our lives today.
That’s why Urban Intellectuals exists. Our Black History Flashcards are more than educational tools. They are Sankofa in action—powerful reminders of the greatness that came before us, and essential instruments for reclaiming what school systems left out or erased.
Start your journey to reclaiming history and rewriting the future—one card at a time.
