    I’ve loved the Black Panther reaction videos, read the reviews/think pieces, swooned over folks lining theaters, tried to teach myself Panther flash mob dance moves, admired all the African threads. But this. This broke me. Our babies. Our young ones. Imagine the seeds planted...pic.twitter.com/rEbsjm5gld

        As the daddy to a little African American girl, this movie teaches her things outside my capacity. This is the girls knocked out after the movie. They loved it.pic.twitter.com/XyVexdUTTe

        This is awesome Adam. It’s so easy for black girls to feel unimportant and diminished, so just the fact that you notice the important in this rocks.

        Thank you Maddie. I’m not gonna lie, I choked up just about every 5 minutes watching her face, hearing her cheer when the badass women were saving #wakanda. It was an experience.

        I'm with you, I'm totally thrilled. And I'm not a person of colour. I'm thinking: our time is finally up: history is moving in a new direction. And this is fine.

        Ava, on behalf of my grandfather, Jack Kirby, Black Panther co-creator, my mother, father and I feel the same way! We sat behind you at the Disney Awards, felt honored then as we feel so humbled and joyous now! Oh, what a moment! I wish my grandfather were here!
