It’s that time again, people….Black History Month! So let’s just make this simple and dive in! Listen to a new episode of Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review (MWIR) broadcast airing on the BTalk 100 platform this Wednesday at 8pm eastern. The topics slated to be discussed are: Dburt revisits the history of BHM, how it could be revitalized in the wake of George Floyd’s death (and the departing Trump administration/Capitol Riots) and how current trends and competing agendas hopefully will not stagnate it as an annual observance; and then there’s some interesting BHM comic book/graphic novel recommendations for our listeners and beyond; Deadline reports that Black Panther filmmaker, Ryan Coogler has inked a 5-year Exclusive Disney TV deal with a Wakanda centric series in development; thoughts about some interesting trailers that hit the cyberverse like HBO’s forthcoming Joss Whedon project, The Nevers:
And new DC Animated product entitled, Justice Society: World War II:
