Black Superheroes Deserve the Space to Make an Impact | Beyond the Scenes

Superheroes inspire us and help us believe we can do all that we set our minds to. Black superhero stories, however, don’t always reach mainstream audiences, leaving young Black children few characters to identify with. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Daily Show writer, Ashton Womack, Daily Show senior producer, Aaron LaMarr Burleson, and contemporary artist, Hebru Brantley, to discuss how Black superhero stories have more capacity to bring authentic Black experiences to the big screen.    Beyond the Scenes is a podcast from The Daily Show.
