4 Netflix docs to watch this weekend for Black History Month
By Sabrina Reed
In celebration of Black History Month we have four documentaries/docuseries for you to check out this weekend on Netflix!
February is a month dedicated to love in all its forms, and that love also extends to Black American history. Black History Month is a celebration of African-American achievement and as we look to the past for all that Black people have overcome, we also reflect on how much farther there is to go.
This weekend Netflix users will be creeping through weird, sinister looking houses with the kids of Locke & Key and tuning into Alison Brie’s psychological drama Horse Girl. But in their exploration of fiction there is also an opportunity to learn about African-Americans of differing backgrounds from the business world to the race track.
For this week’s What to Watch on Netflix recommendations we’ve picked four documentaries: She Did That., They’ve Gotta Have Us, Uppity: The Willy T. Ribbs Story, and Who Killed Malcolm X?
Each documentary/docuseries examines Black struggle, triumph, ambition, and the obstacles Black people have faced and continue to face today as well as the progress that has been made.
