I really dig how well constructed the Latino appreciation thread is so I decided to revamp the thread for DC's black characters. This is a thread dedicated to DC's characters from across the Afro-Diaspora, however utilized or underutilized they may be and regardless of alignment. I will try to keep this up to date so feel free to post anyone I missed and I will add them to the list.
