Wakanda fever? RiteWay staff don African attire
We found out; however, that it was more about a “consciousness” during Black History Month, which was observed from February 1 to 28, 2018.
“We got together today just to celebrate Black History Month. We thought it would be a good thing if we just dress in our Dashiki and other African attire and just big up the day, being the last day in February. It is out of consciousness,” RiteWay staff member Ms Karen A. Ward told our newsroom.
Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month in the US, or Black Achievement Month in the Netherlands, began as a way for remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora.
Ms Ward did say, however, that the hype of the hit movie Black Panther may have had something to do with the dress code as well.
“That’s part of it, black pride,” Ms Ward said, adding that she hasn’t seen the movie yet but is waiting for it to premiere in the Virgin Islands.
After sustaining extensive damage, UP's Cineplex will be reopening on March 9, 2018 and will feature Black Panther and 50 Shades of Grey, a story first and accurately reported by this news site on February 24, 2018.

Everything Americans do you can bet your last dollar these fools in the BVI will follow suit.
Here is an idea for you..start a book of the month club now that will encourage the young boys/children and adults to read about people like Marcus Garvey, famous BVIer, Nelson Mandela, Hugh Masekela, Kwame Nkrumah etc. Basically famous blacks world wide..including musicians, writers like W.E. B Dubose, John Hope Franklin...from slavery to freedom (book on social institutions), inventors, etc. End the year's list of books to read with a culmination of a discussion programme in Feb 2019 at your next level celebration of black history month. So proud to learn of your consciousness. I am a product of an HBCU in the south of the usa for my undergraduate college education and no other college education for a black person can compare to the lessons in our history and culture that you can find at a History Black College and University. That education left me so well equipped, from a consciousness level to deal to my graduate education at a very large white university in the USA and the corporate world. I encourage you to take this further; make it a community event and get your employer to help with sponsorship.
Many are called but few are chosen...
