Seventeen's 37 Black History Movies Everyone Needs to See at Least Once

"While Black History Month is celebrated in February — 'the shortest month of the year' — people should celebrate Black culture and stories all year long. One way to do that is by watching powerful movies and documentaries. There are so many films that teach us about people who helped change our country's laws and general way of thinking for the better, such as those who fought for interracial marriage or helped desegregate public buses. Our society still has a long way to go when it comes to racial equality, but below are several movies about historical Black figures who, if they aren't already, should all be household names. From athletes to musicians to politicians, we've compiled a wide variety of media for your next binge session." - seventeen.com
