NYS Senator James Sanders Jr. Takes 300
Southeast Queens Residents To See Black Panther

Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) hosted a free Black Panther movie screening on March 1, 2018 at Grand Avenue cinemas in Baldwin, NY. More than 300 people, many dressed in African garb, attended the event, which was followed by a spirited Q & A session about the film and its message.

The movie takes place in the fictional African nation of Wakanda. The lead character of Black Panther was created back in 1966 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in the comic Fantastic Four #52. Black Panther's real name is T'Challa and he is the king and protector of Wakanda. He must face two powerful foes - Claw and Erik Killmonger.
