It seems as though these unapologetically black sentiments that we have been experiencing are just going to come on stronger and stronger. On the tails of Beyonce’s controversial, depending on who you ask, performance and Kendrick Lamar’s impeccable Grammy blowout including 5 grammy wins, things are getting even better this Black History Month. Tonight a 2 hour long documentary will air on PBS exploring The Black Panther Party. And this my friends is how you celebrate Black History Month!

I’m not sure if this is just a coincidence, shortly after recent buzz from Beyonce’s Super Bowl 50 halftime performance starring herself as Beyonce and her dancers as female members of the Black Panther Party, or just a case bomb PR people at their best but either way I’m all for it. Executive produced by Emmy-Award winning documentary filmmaker, Stanley Nelson,  The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution airs tonight on PBS to shed some light on the pivotal impact that the Black Panther Party has made in both Black and American Society.

With the rise of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and black social and political awakening as a whole, this documentary has come right on time to showcase the movement that grandfathered it all. With it’s recent rise in popularity due to pop culture references, I predict that many of those us who wouldn’t  usually tune into something of this documentary’s nature will tonight just to have our curiosities sated.

Now, this is the kind of “reality TV” that we need to tune into every once and a while.

Will you be tuning into ‘The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution’ airing tonight?
