The African American Film Critics Association has heralded 2016 as 'an exceptional year in terms of the quantity and quality of films about the black experience,' a statement that makes perfect sense upon perusal of their year-end awards. Moonlight deservedly sweeps, but their top 10 films of the year list finds space for several other acclaimed titles with black lead characters. Good work, AAFCA!
