Black Superheroes Deserve the Space to Make an Impact

Superheroes inspire us and help us believe we can do all that we set our minds to. Black superhero stories, however, don’t always reach mainstream audiences, leaving young Black children few characters to identify with. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Daily Show writer, Ashton Womack, Beyond the Scenes senior producer, Aaron Lamarr Burleson, and contemporary artist, Hebru Brantley, to discuss how Black superhero stories have more capacity to bring authentic Black experiences to the big screen.    Watch the Original Segment:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx3ErVQmXKc Link to purchase Hebru Brantley’s coffee table book: https://www.amazon.com/Hebru-Brantley/dp/084787219XSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
