This isn't a normal movie night. This is history.

"Look at this person right here," said Black Lives Matter Syracuse Organizer Rahzie Seals. "You can do anything you want. You can be anything you want to be."

"We're talking about the first superhero from African descent, who came out in 1966," said Seals.

"Black Panther," the Marvel film with a mostly-black cast, hit the theaters this weekend. Seals knew the film presented an opportunity.

"When you usually go to movie theaters and you see African-Americans, either we're comic relief, slaves, maids, drug dealers or users," said Seals. "And when you're constantly shown that image, you're starting to think there's nothing really good for me, there's nothing I can do.

"But he was like, 'Ohhh, that's cool! That's Black Panther!' " 

After Seals' 5-year-old nephew lit up with excitement when seeing Black Panther, she started raising money to get as many kids as possible to the theater opening weekend.

"My thing is, let's have all the kids in the city of Syracuse go," said Seals.

A $3,500 goal was quickly surpassed by more than $4,000, meaning almost 400 people are heading to the movies this weekend. Seals hopes this movie will show young black children that they're super-heroes, too.

"We are everyday superheroes, if you're running for council, Congress, Senate," said Seals. "If you're going to be a teacher, being a teacher is a hero. I want the kids to know that we're everyday heroes, and we have our Marvel superheroes."
