We’re a little over a week into Black History Month. It’s a month that honors the heritage and history of Black Americans, and since we talk a lot about movies on this website, let’s honor the great works of Black culture in cinema that deserve a little more attention. There are go-to films that line up perfectly with the message of Black History Month. However, it is time to dig a little deeper. We can’t study race in America with superficial messages in our movies that tackle the subject. It’s important to further explore and share stories that may not win countless Oscars and high praise from critics.
