Lift every voice and shout! In honor of Black History Month, Sci-Fi Carnival is nerding-out with impunity over black people in science fiction. Hosts Maryck Allyson, James Robinson, and guest host Mel dive into:

• Black Sci-Fi before Black Panther,
• Cosmic Slop, the sunken place, and equisapiens,
• Dark Matters,
• Reconstructing the deconstructed black narrative,
• And why planet Earth is not our home.

Sadly, we barely touch the surface of black people and the sci-fi genre, but on a positive note, we barely touch the surface of black people and the sci-fi genre.
