Help Steel kids See "Black Panther

Donation protected
Media plays an important role in shaping the way we understand race and ethnicity as part of our history, our social institutions, and our everyday lives. Moreover, positive black representation on television and film screens plays an important role in the struggle against the anti-black bias we face in this country. For many, viewing self-determination means realizing self-determination.

After decades of asking for a modern black superhero, we finally got what we've asked for!  There is no doubt that it is a rare opportunity for young people, especially those who are often marginalized. Help send the over 500 amazing students at Edward T. Steel Elementary School! to see The Black Panther movie.

About Edward Steel Elementary School:
Edward Steel Elementary is home to over 500 students predominately from the Nicetown neighborhood.  These students are Philadelphia's youth, full of potential, unimaginable possibilities and of one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the city.  Originally the school organized to take 50 students but we think we can do better!  Please give what you can so we can send every child for this historic movie event.
