As we steadily approach February, there's no shortage of entertainment to consume in the month of Black History. In an effort to support black entertainment, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures has announced that Ryan Coogler's Black Panther will return to the big screen for one week.
The news comes via Twitter, where the official Walt Disney Company Twitter account confirmed that the Academy Award-nominated and Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) winner will begin playing in theatres starting February 1. Tickets will be free and two showtimes will be available each day at 250 participating AMC theatres.

Now Playing: See Marvel's Black Panther For Free When It Returns To Theatres For Black History Month - GameSpot Universe News Update
In addition to supporting Black History Month, the Walt Disney Company has announced that it'll donate a $1.5 million grant to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to help minority students access and move through college. According to the press release, UNCF is the nation's largest and most effective minority education organization who, for 75 years, has helped support "students' education and development through scholarships and other programs, strengthens its 37 member colleges and universities, and advocates for the importance of minority education and college readiness."
Black Panther stars Chadwick Boseman (Get On Up, Gods of Egypt) in the titular role of T'Challa/Black Panther, who becomes the king of the African nation of Wakanda after his father T'Chaka (played by John Kani) is killed in the Russo brothers' Captain America: Civil War. As T'Challa rises to the throne, N'Jadaka/Erik "Killmonger" Stevens (played by Michael B. Jordan) takes this as an opportunity to compete for control of the nation. What follows is a rivalry over who's more deserving of the title of king.
In our Black Panther review, we called the film "a top tier Marvel movie with all the humor, style, action, passion, and fun that the MCU has come to embody," calling it "a cultural event that's going to be hard for Marvel to top, no matter how many worlds Thanos conquers later this year in Infinity War."
