Since its inception in 1915, Black History Month has served a vital role in chronicling the journey of Black individuals from the shackles of enslavement, through their ongoing fight for equity and civil rights, and in celebrating their significant civic and cultural contributions to society. Today, this observance is not only marked in February but extends throughout the year, with major streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+, and Hulu leveraging this national holiday to spotlight the remarkable works by Black creatives and featuring Black talent within their extensive libraries.
This period presents a perfect opportunity for viewers to deepen their understanding of Black activists, icons, and trailblazers, or to reframe and correct their existing knowledge of US history through engaging documentaries. Whether you're eager to diversify your watchlist with content that showcases Black creatives in front of or behind the camera, or simply wish to revisit the films and shows that have profoundly influenced and continue to shape cultural narratives, there's something for everyone.
