Addressing

There is a Problem facing the Black Community.

With all its success, the Black community in Georgia faces ongoing challenges that hinder its growth and development across economic, social, political, and cultural dimensions.

Addressing these issues requires new insights and actions to promote change and preserve our culture.

One of those tools is BlacIntellec, The Black Atlanta Think Tank, a 501(c)(3) organization.

What is BlacIntellec?

BlacIntellec is a Think Tank that was created to house the Atlanta Black Intelligentsia, composed of acknowledged leaders and people from all walks of life in the Black community to provide the culture's point of view and to articulate policy, political, or social structures that could change the economic outcomes of the Atlanta urban Black Community.

The BAR (The Black Assembly Registry)

The BAR (Black Assembly Registry)

BlacIntellec is creating a comprehensive resource known as The BAR (Black Assembly Registry). We aim to compile at least 1,000 sources of Black intellect within our community and state. These will be Black persons from all walks of life who through their experiences are a repository of knowledge and wisdom about issues and life.

This is a pioneering effort as no such catalog exists today.  The BAR is not just a project; it is a collection of the wisdom and knowledge gained by the Black community over lifetimes located in one place. It's a crucial step towards understanding issues from the Black perspective, a viewpoint they have developed through years of experience and participation. The BAR will serve as a vibrant repository, shedding light on the diverse array of thoughts and ideas present in todays Black community.

This initiative is designed to be the cornerstone of our efforts, providing a starting point for accessing essential knowledge on any issue or inquiry. By tapping into The BAR, we aim to harness the collective wisdom of our community, utilizing it as a foundational resource for informed decision-making.

Recognizing that wisdom is the compass that guides us through life's intricate paths earned through experience, reflection, and second chances.   Now is our opportunity to help the Black community by sharing our invaluable knowledge and wisdom, a cornerstone that begins our research. Before responding to any inquiry, we gather the knowledge and wisdom of the Black community as the base.

These persons will serve on focus groups, support research papers, perhaps  sit on panels or even write opinion pieces.

Should further information be required beyond The BAR, we stand ready to undertake additional research or engage the public to ensure a comprehensive understanding of any subject.

We need YOU to become a member of the BAR. Your knowledge and experience are the cornerstones of our progress."  Scan the QR Code and sign up.  This is voluntary and there are no fees required.
