Black Panther

Black Panther is a very successful film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the reasons are that it is the first black superhero film released from Marvel and can relate to Black Lives Matter. Also, at the end of Captain America Civil War (2016), the character Black Panther was revealed to have a film and Marvel fan's were anticipated for him and couldn't wait for his own film. Black Panther fits into the Marvel franchise as it continues the superhero genre and develops the MCU story as Black Panther's film linked to the film Avengers Infinity War (2018). All the previous points are the reason why Black Panther is so successful.

The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual, social, and artistic explosion centered in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, spanning the 1920s. At the time, it was known as the "New Negro Movement", named after The New Negro, a 1925 anthology edited by Alain Locke. The movement also included the new African-American cultural expressions across the urban areas in the Northeast and Midwest United States affected by the Great Migration, of which Harlem was the largest.

The Black Panther Party (BPP), originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, was a revolutionary socialist political organisation founded by Marxist college students Bobby Seale (Chairman) and Huey Newton (Minister of Defence) in October 1966 in Oakland, California. The party was active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, with chapters in numerous major cities, and international chapters in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, and in Algeria from 1969 to 1972 

Afrofuturism is a cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science and philosophy of history that explores the developing intersection of African diaspora culture with technology. It was coined by Mark Dery in 1993 and explored in the late 1990s through conversations led by Alondra Nelson.

#OscarsSoWhite is a hashtag used to call out the lack of diversity—especially people of color but also women and the LGBTQ community—in nominations for the Academy Awards, or Oscars. It has expanded as a call for greater inclusion of marginalized groups in all aspects of the film industry.
