00:00Captain America Black. What kind of opportunity and if you wonder what kind of challenge was that for you?
00:12It was huge, but for many different reasons. I feel like it's just as important for black kids to see
00:20a black Captain America as white kids to see a black Captain America.
00:24Growing up, one of my favorite superheroes was green. So it wasn't about race. It wasn't about anything. It was
00:33just about him being a good guy and trying to do the right thing.
00:37And I think imagery is important. My son is 15 years old and his world is so different than mine.
00:47When I went to school, my school was 99% black.
00:51And now his school is like 50%, 40% white. So when he has a soccer game or an event,
01:01you have Latino kids, you have white kids, you have Asian kids all playing together.
01:05So I think it's very important for kids of all races to be able to watch something and have someone
01:13to look up to.
01:14No matter what they look like, you can see that that package comes with a good human being as opposed
01:21to what they've been perceived as by everyone else.
