John,

Black History Month is a time to both celebrate the tremendous contributions made by Black people and communities to the world, as well as to reflect, learn, and grow.

That’s why we put together a list of recent powerful documentaries, narrative films, TV series, and podcasts which provide a variety of perspectives on what it means to be Black in America both today and in decades past.

Please take a moment right now to read through our list of 15 things you should check out this Black History Month: [[link removed]]

It’s no secret that racial discrimination is embedded in our criminal legal system. The truth is that mass incarceration and wrongful conviction disproportionately impact Black people in this country. While Black people make up just 13.6% of the U.S. population, 50% of the 3,375 people who have been exonerated since 1989 are Black.

The movies, documentaries, series, and podcasts in this list dive into the history of racism in the U.S., highlight civil rights icons like the late Rep. John Lewis, and examine the modern-day impacts of slavery and Jim Crow era policies.

Check out the list right now and then share it with your friends and family online so they can join you in learning and growing as well: [[link removed]]

The Innocence Project works to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone. Founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, the organization is now an independent nonprofit. Our work is guided by science and grounded in antiracism.
