Black
History
Month
is
another
great
reason
to
uplift
Black
entertainment.
We
comprised
a
new
‘What
to
Watch’
list
of
Black
television
shows,
starring
amazing
Black
talent
and
culturally
relevant
plots
to
enjoy.
Check
out
our
latest
list
featuring
a
few
of
our
favorite
Black
TV
shows
inside.
Today’s
streaming
companies
offer
countless
shows
to
keep
you
and
the
family
entertained. Historically,
Black
stories
have
not
always
been
uplifted
positively
in
media.
Storytelling
has
since
evolved
into
a
variety
of
impactful
series
and
films
that
represent
the
underrepresented.
While
it
may
seem
like
we
have
made
great
strides
in
entertainment,
there
is
still
a
long
way
to
go.
Television
has
a
huge
impact
on
the
way
we
view
ourselves
offscreen
and
IRL.
Last
year,
we
discovered
more
Black
entertainers
are
given
the
platform
to
soar
and
shine
with
networks
looking
to
fulfill
their
diversity
and
inclusion
promises
from
the
2020
racial
uprising.
Now,
these
same
corporations
are
canceling
our
favorite
Black
shows
like
“Rap
Sh!t”
and
“Grand
Crew”
with
a
quickness,
giving
them
two
seasons
while
leaving
fans
with
anticlimactic
cliffhangers
for
endings.
This
Black
History
Month
we
wanted
to
particularly
highlight
the
stories
that
are
shaping
the
way
Black
people
view
themselves.
These
shows
are
far
more
significant
than
fans
may
realize.
Children
and
teens
can
feel
seen
with
shows
like
Disney+’s
“The
Proud
Family:
Louder
and
Prouder”
and
“Marvel’s
Moon
Girl
and
Devil
Dinosaur.”
Adults
can
find
comedic
relief
in
the
every
day
lives
of
“The
Upshaws”
on
Netflix.
Whether
you’re
looking
to
escape
to
FX’s
crime
drama
series
with
“Snowfall”
or
get
grounded
with
the
realities
of
our
history
in
Hulu’s
“The
1619
Project,”
there’s
a
series
on
our
list
for
everyone.
We
continue
to
change
the
narrative
by
celebrating
the
variety
of
content
across
platforms,
which
magnify
Black
stories.
Happy
Black
History
Month!

‘What

Watch’
