Costume designer Ruth E. Carter has shaped the story of the Black experience on screen. Her
costume design on Marvel's BLACK PANTHER not only brought Afrofuturism to the mainstream but
also made her the first Black winner of an Oscar in costume design. Carter's wisdom and stories
are paired with sketches mood boards and film stills. At its core Carter's oeuvre celebrates
Black heroes and sheroes whether civil rights leaders or Wakandan warriors.
