During Black History Month we’re highlighting different works of literature, film, television series, video games and anime. Today we are highlighting Afro Samurai! This anime spoke to our managing editor, Chase Bolling. As a young Blerd from the hood, the themes of reputation and revenge drew interesting parallels to the cycles of gang and street violence that he faced every day, making it an animation that will always have a special place in his heart. #anime #blackheroesmatter #representationmatters #afrosamurai #blackanime (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CacbHDwLXI7/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Black History Month (SF/F)or the Culture will be honoring works of science fiction and fantasy from across media that has had a positive impact on the culture for BIPOC. Today we honor Blake; or the Huts of America by Martin R. Delaney! Largely ignored during its time, this series begins with the illegally enslaved Henry Blake embarking on a rebellious journey to retrieve his wife who was sold away from their plantation. Delany’s work offers a unique window into the past mind of a black author. Through the protagonist’s interactions we gain insight into the world our ancestors existed in, bringing to light their ideas about nationality and identity. #blackhistory #blackauthorsmatter #blackvoicesmatter #blackscifi #blackfantasy #sffortheculture (at Downtown Bridgeport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZcLwTIrMkx/?utm_medium=tumblr
