We need a Latino Black Panther

If you're anything like me, you're counting the hours until you can watch Black Panther. The much-anticipated movie tells the story of T’Challa (a.k.a. Black Panther) as he returns to his African nation of Wakanda, ready to claim his place as King. Jamil Smith wrote a fantastic piece for TIME on the movie's cultural importance and what it means for people of color.
