The Deathwatch for People of Color

This community originally began with a focus on Principal Robin Wood. Given that he was an African American and has the Hellmouth in his office, we were convinced that Principal Wood was a man marked for Death (or some other unspeakable evil).

Then, with the implementation of court-ordered desegregation in Sunnydale and the resulting influx of people of color in the town, there was a change in mandate, witness for all people of color on Buffy.

Now that Buffy has ended, we're still keeping the candles burning for people of color in scifi, fantasy, and horror.
