"I don’t even know if I can even—as you know, Amy, I don’t even know if it can even be described in words what Black Panther meant, what T’Challa meant, what many of those incredible characters meant, what Wakanda meant, what Wakanda still means to black people. And particularly those of us who are really striving to be antiracist, those of us who are knowledgeable about precolonial West African empires, those of us who know that the reason why there is so much poverty, for instance, in Africa is not because there’s something wrong with African people. That if not for colonialism, if not for the slave trade, there may be a Wakanda. And I think that black people I think in the United States and all over the world, for them to see themselves in greatness and in excellence, for them to see themselves affirmed, I think was just incredible... And like other black people who went to see the film and just as nonblack people, it gave me the ability to really step outside of myself, step outside of my world and imagine what’s possible. And there is nothing more radical and critical to transforming the world than a radical imagination. Of thinking about what is possible. I think Black Panther gave that to so many people."
