CultureTechLens Black Cultural Knowledge Graph — Release 2026-10-15
CULTURETECHLENS · "Culture, Clearly Seen." · Black Cultural Intelligence
A source-grounded knowledge graph of Black cultural history — people, places, organizations, works, events, and practices — rooted in Chicago and connected globally. Every entity record carries a description, an evidence grade (Verified / Provisional), and the sources behind its claims, under CultureTechLens governance standard CTL-GOV-004 (no claim ships without a source supporting the exact claim).
