QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

No word on when the series will come to the USA, but I’d guess it’ll be very soon.

Below are the opening credits to the cartoon series which features the voice talents of Kerry Washington, Alfre Woodard, Jill Scott and Djimon Hounsou as T’Challa, the Black Panther.
