After you see Black Panther, grab a book

Energized after seeing the new Black Panther action movie? Want to explore more worlds like Wakanda? Check out science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism by writers of color available from the MW Library. For more short stories, search literary magazines in JSTOR, AP Source, or PowerSearch.

If the movie’s title has you curious about the Black Panther Party or similar aspects of U.S. history, grab a book about one of those topics. You’ll also find relevant articles from a variety of perspectives in U.S. History in Context, PowerSearch, Virtual Reference Library, and AP Source.
