Since 1915, Black History Month has served as a vital platform to commemorate the journey of Black people from enslavement, to their ongoing fight for equality and civil rights, and to celebrate their immense contributions to society. Now, each February and beyond, major streaming services—Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+, and Hulu—leverage this national observance to spotlight films and shows created by Black creatives and featuring Black talent.
This is an ideal opportunity to deepen your understanding of Black activists, icons, and trailblazers, adding crucial context—and perhaps correcting misconceptions—about what you may have learned in US history through compelling documentaries. Whether you aim to expand your viewing list with content showcasing Black talent on screen and behind the camera, or simply revisit culturally significant films and shows, this is a chance to connect with powerful narratives.
