Episode 6
This episode marks the beginning of our series, “Liberate Your Imagination: The Dark Fantastic and Black Characters in Fairy Tales, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi" which is inspired by Dr. Ebony Elizabeth Thomas' recent book, The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games. For this gathering, I am in conversation with my friends, Richmond Wills, Dr. Stephanie Toliver, and Anthony Pierce. We share our love of speculative fiction and childhood journeys in finding Black characters and superheroes in films, television, and books. We also discuss the difference between Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism.
