What were some of the solutions and methods in addressing/alleviating these concerns and injustices? Are these solutions plausible given the conditions?

Critical Reading Assignment #2

What were some of the solutions and methods in addressing/alleviating these concerns and injustices? Are these solutions plausible given the conditions? For context, be sure to review the previous lecture notes on the Black Power movement, for instance.

Now, given the intentions of the Black Panther Party as revealed in Peeble’s film, what does Coogler’s, Black Panther teach us (see commentaries in readings for the week)? Does it add to our understanding of societal injustice in the lives of Africana people? Does the film teach us about liberation for Africana people or is this film just entertainment? Think about the end of the film in particular when solutions are proposed to “help” African Americans.

In other words, what ideas for liberation are revealed within the new Black Panther film and are they plausibe? In responding to this question, think about if you agree or disagree with Lebron and Burrough’s critiques and why or why not? And how is this interation of Black Panther different from or similiar to Hudlin’s Black Panther animation (2011)? What is his work about? Are his intentions similiar to or distinct from the message(s) in Coogler’s work?

In thinking about our contemporary Black Lives Matter Movement (see reading) and The Hate U Give, what is the purpose of this novel and film and does it speak to the contemporary discussion of police death of Africana/Black and brown bodies? Is it important to document these experiences? Why or why not? What solutions do the novel and film propose, if at all? How does this film, then, compare to messages within varying interations of Black Panther?
