Due to a complex past, Black people around the world are culturally different. We see this as an opportunity to celebrate our beautiful uniqueness as a widespread and historically rich people and to explore some of our shared challenges.

We are highlighting stories of Black Legends who have used their voices, resources and talents to impact the Black community and the world.

We hope you learn something from this deck, regardless of your race or skin color. We believe that knowledge is an important part of bridging cultural gaps.

In the Box: 54 standard playing cards

20 illustrated story cards
32 Black History cards
2 illustrated Jokers

Poker size with standard index: cards measure 2.5" x 3.5". Premium cards with glossy lamination for added strength, stain protection and enhanced durability.

10% of net proceeds from this game will go toward educational and community development initiatives in underserved Black communities.
