""Black Panther" Comic Books Belong in Classroom"
Opinion: Why 'Black Panther' and other comic books belong in the classroom
With the massive success of "Black Panther," the latest blockbuster from Marvel, the time is ripe for educators to embrace comic books as legitimate teaching and learning tools.
The movie is based on the superhero created by comic book legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in "Fantastic Four" #52, released in 1966. In that issue, for what turns out to be a defensible reason, the Black Panther, or T'Challa as he is also known, single-handedly takes down each member of the powerful all-white superhero team. During the height of the civil rights movement, this was a powerful statement indeed, providing a clear allegory to the tumultuous time.
