Monrovia - On February 16, the largely anticipated movie by Marvel Comics, the Black Panther had it’s world premier, and Liberia was part of the action. Wakanda is a fictional African nation in the Marvel Universe, which is home to the Black Panther and his people. In Wakanda, the slave trade never existed, and the nation was never colonized — not by Westerners, and not by freed-slaves. The Black Panther is a film which must be experienced, as I believe it feeds each of its viewers with something different. For me, I was fed with a delicious serving of the idea of reconciliation among Africans in Africa, Africans in the Diaspora, and African-Americans.
