In celebrating Black history, one month is just a start

Ludwigshöhe, Germany – February is Black History Month, a month dedicated to learning about the past so that horrible acts will not be repeated.
It is for honoring the struggles and achievements of Black people then and now, for supporting Black creators and for uplifting Black voices.
Of course, all of those things are important throughout every year, not just during one month. It should be a given that people who like to watch movies watch movies with diverse representation, films that show the racism many Black people are faced with every day and also movies who just naturally feature Black people where the color of their skin has nothing to do with the plot.
