“Black Panther” Heading To Theaters For Free In Honor Of Black History Month
Wakanda forever.
“Black Panther is groundbreaking for many reasons, including the rich diversity of voices behind its success,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger in a statement. “The story also showcases the power of knowledge to change the world for the better, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it. We’re proud to provide thousands of free screenings of Black Panther in hopes it will continue to inspire audiences, and to support UNCF with a $1.5 million grant to make the dream of higher education a reality for more students.” Black Panther will be available to watch in 250 select AMC Theatres for the week of February 1-7. The $1.5 million dollar donation to the United Negro College Fund Black and the re-screening of Black Panther are Disney’s way of celebrating and honoring Black History Month.
