Use These Free Resources to Help Kids Think About Black Panther
Black Panther, with an almost all-black cast, inspires audiences – seeing pictures of black children watching a movie is pure joy. In classrooms and at dining tables, the film opens up conversations about injustice, politics and change.
The Black Panther Challenge , a movement to get more kids into theaters to watch Black Panther , offers free online resources to help kids, teens, and adults think about the movie.
For the little ones, there are downloadable coloring pages and assignment sheets.
For middle and high school students, there are pre- and post-movie readings , including The Dark Meaning of Robot and The Politics of Black Panther.
Frederick Joseph, the New Yorker who launched the #BlackPantherChallenge on social media, says that “all kids deserve to believe they can save the world, go on exciting adventures or do the impossible.” It’s amazing what the film is capable of.
