CAPFILM: Free Black History Month Series – BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER
To commemorate Black History Month 2026, the Appell Center has collaborated with three prominent York County community members to curate an exclusive film series. Each feature portrays the struggles, triumphs and challenges faced by these historical individuals and in significant periods of time. They are stories that simply must be told and retold… stories that continue to influence those that experience them.
Admission to all three movies in the series is free for the community.
- The Six Triple Eight (Sun, 2/1) – curated and presented by Samantha L. Dorm, local historian
- Remember the Titans (Sun, 2/15) – curated and presented by Tavon Parker, The Advantage Program
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Thu, 2/19) – curated and presented by TaTyana Abreu, United Way of York County
Each film screening will open with remarks by its curator, detailing why they think the movie should be shared with the York community, and how it has significantly impacted their lives.
BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER
In Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death.
As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli.
Some flashing lights sequences or patterns may affect photosensitive viewers.
