Black Panther was the movie that made me realize how important minority representation can be in movies. I live near Baltimore, and the movie theatre near me was packed every weekend with kids and teens as part of youth programs. I think the movie was playing in that theatre for over two months after it had left most other theatres.
- acjohnson55 6y agoI used to teach high school in Baltimore. It was an intense job that I rarely miss, but I do wish I could have experienced seeing how the kids processed it. Then again, it probably would have been hella irritating in the moment. Kids telling me "no mister Johnson I will not sit in my seat, Wakanda forever", in Wakanda accent.
