February marks the start of Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements and contributions of Black Americans throughout the nation’s history. Each year, Black History Month gives us the opportunity to reflect on the lasting impact of the inspiring Black leaders and pivotal events that paved the way for progress.
Black artists bring powerful stories that depict the Black experience in America to life on screen. From stories that have been passed down through generations to the stories of modern-day heroes, film and TV broaden our perspective of the rich heritage and vibrant culture of the Black community—and the indelible mark it has left on the world.
