Black History Month is a sacred time for me as a filmmaker as I reflect on those who walked the hard road so ours could be easier.

Superheroes are thriving on TV, and an unprecedented number of them are African American. But it hasn't always been this way; historically, superheroes of color have had a slow and difficult journey to receiving the kind of fame that their white counterparts have enjoyed all along.
