Black Movies Available for Streaming for Black History Month 2018
Every year during Black History Month I try to watch at least one black movie a day.

I happen to own a lot of these movies (“The Color Purple,” “The Five Heartbeats,” “The Wiz,” “Coming to America,” “Love Jones,” “Mahogany”…you get the picture). But for those of you who can't get your hands on a physical copy of all of this black excellence, and wanted to join in on the black binge-athon, your girl Lo has your back.
