It's a family thing.. a family...Black N Animated~
Hey there animation family, we're back again this week with another BW, WB..( It's been three seasons... it don't matter) episode. This time Bre and Way take a look at another Bruce W Smith classic. One that a lot of young black folks grew up watching in the early 2000s on Disney Channel. The Proud Family!
Here a little discussion about 3 episodes "Behind Family Lines", "I had a Dream", and "Culture Shock." Each episode diving into something relevant to all our lives. The different types of family dynamics within black culture, Islamophobia following the attacks on 9/11 and how we can convey the message of unity to young children, and teaching kids about racism and black struggles.
