Life After Violence in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
February 18, 2023 | By Karis Ryu YDS’23
Like many superhero fans, I bounded over to the nearest movie theater within a week of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s release in November. A film of pain, hope, and power, I appreciated its muted volume, both auditory and visual, and how Ryan Coogler’s vision clearly included space for grief, both on and off screen. Grief and rage are integral to the story’s central message of healing and renewal: for Shuri, Wakanda, and the world they live in.
Judgement and Victim-Blaming in America: Misguided Responses to COVID-19
By Timothy Han, SM ‘22. Timothy is majoring in Comparative Literature.
It is important for us in the Church to reflect on how some of our leaders have responded to the pain and suffering of the pandemic. Many members of the Church have reached out in loving-kindness to their grieving neighbors, extending God’s message of comfort and love for those who weep. Unfortunately, there are some prominent Christian voices who have instead offered hurtful interpretations of what we are now experiencing.
