Netflix Adds Black Lives Matter Collection As A Genre

Netflix has added Black Lives Matter to traditional categories such as Action, Comedies, and Dramas.

Netflix has added a new collection to its catalog: Black Lives Matter.

The streaming giant announced the change in a tweet Wednesday.

If you tuned into your Netflix account today, you were greeted with a different welcome screen than usual. The streaming platform is presenting audiences with a featured collection titled “More than a Moment.”

“When we say ‘Black Lives Matter,’ we also mean ‘Black storytelling matters.’ With an understanding that our commitment to true, systemic change will take time – we’re starting by highlighting powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience,” the statement read.

“Black lives matter. Learn more about racial injustice and the Black experience in America with this collection of films, series and documentaries,” the welcome screen reads.

When you log onto Netflix today, you will see a carefully curated list of titles that only begin to tell the complex and layered stories about racial injustice and Blackness in America. https://t.co/dN6XQmsrGK pic.twitter.com/3CIrrno6mw
