AUSTIN, Texas -- Marvel's Black Panther will go down in history for more than it's huge first weekend at the box office. The movie's black superhero and mostly black cast makes this more than just a movie.

Capital City Black Film Festival Executive Director Winston Williams said it's an opportunity to inspire.

"That's what we want kids to do," Williams said. "To be inspired to dream about what they can do and be in this world."

The Capital City Black Film Festival and Soul City participated in the Black Panther Challenge to raise enough money for kids to see the movie. They raised nearly $4,500, which was enough to send 200 kids to see the King of Wakanda. Texas Youth Preparatory School Campus Director Daphne McDole said is really important for her kids.

"All kids they need positive role models," Daphne McDole said. "The kids that don't often see someone who's black ,someone who's postive, someone who's a hero in their community, this will be a big deal to them." 

A big deal for these young superhero fans who will finally get to see a hero that looks like them. 

"Since it's done by marvel like this is pretty top of the top," Chance Hall said. "I'm just here because I can actually see myself represented on screen."

As these kids experience history in the making, older generations hope this moment inspires more black filmmakers. They said they'd like to see movies like Black Panther all the time. 

"What we're looking for, especially from the independent film makers is to keep making movies," Williams said. "Their is a market for what you do and you could make a good living at it."

The screening was a part of the festival's Texas Takeover event. They held screenings in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
