They had this idea that it would be really fun for the law school as a community to go see ‘Black Panther.’ Everyone was talking about the movie, and we worried that it would be sold out on opening weekend. It was a really fun event. I loved the idea of doing this as the entire law school community.

— Dean Danielle Holley-Walker of Howard University School of Law, commenting on the school’s trip to see a special screening of “Black Panther.” The school rented out the theater for $3,000, and about 375 people, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni, attended the law school’s special screening of the blockbuster film. Chadwick Boseman, who plays the titular “Black Panther,” graduated from Howard University in 2000.
