The comeback of Afrofuturism, a black SciFi movement

As the US election approaches, we take a virtual cross-country trip and ask our American friends fundamental questions around Americanness. The fourth episode looks into the comeback of Afrofuturism, a cultural movement where black authors and artists envision a SciFi future. From Octavia E. Butler to Black Panther and Lovecraft Country, we take a look at how black people view time travel and imagine a futuristic reality for themselves.
