Is Black History Month still necessary?"
That's the question that starts it all at Langston Hills University - a small HBCU buzzing with opinions, pride, and tension.
Rodney, a too-cool-for-change hustler.
Imani, a campus activist who lives and breathes revolution.
Travis, the golden boy athlete who thinks he's above "all that."
Natasha, the well-meaning white girl who swears she's an ally.
Nia, the quiet creative who sees more than she says.
When their eccentric professor, Dr. Fields, assigns a Black History Month project, they're forced to work together - and accidentally uncover something far beyond research: a mysterious old VCR that literally sends them into the past.
Each trip drops them into a different moment in Black history - from the brutality of slavery to the brilliance of the Harlem Renaissance - forcing them to face truths about themselves, their ancestors, and each other.
What starts as a class project becomes a crash course in empathy, unity, and identity. Because to move forward, they'll have to understand the past - and decide who they want to be when they return.
A witty, heartfelt, and powerful journey through time, culture, and self.
