Seen the latest Marvel movie? Whether you’re a Marvel fanatic (like me) or not, GO SEE BLACK PANTHER. This is a movie with a lot to say, packaged in Marvel’s movie magic, so it’s really worth your time.

Does this movie signal positive change for our society? Does it address the deep inequities, racism and sexism in which we steep our children? I leave those questions to better minds than mine. Check out these reviews:

• [Spoiler-free] “How ‘Black Panther’ Dissects Tension Between Africans and African Americans,” by Jessica Bennett, Author of Feminist Fight Club: A Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace 
• [Spoiler/controversy-alert] “Black Panther is Not the Movie We Deserve,” by Christopher Lebron, Professor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and Author of The Making of Black Lives Matter: A Brief History of an Idea
• [Spoiler-free] “An African-American Teen and His Mom Explain Why ‘Black Panther’ Means So Much,” by Sonia Moghe, Michelle Krupa and Kristina Sgueglia, CNN

See the movie for yourself. What do you think?
