The start of a new year means some of our favorite shows, movies, albums and songs are celebrating major milestone anniversaries.
How long has it been since the release of Coming to America, Poetic Justice, or Blade? Do you remember the year The Real Housewives of Atlanta made its debut or when Beyoncé dropped I Am…Sasha Fierce?
The 16 major anniversaries on our list will make you realize just how fast time flies.
Poetic Justice was Tupac Shakur’s second major role and landed Janet Jackson a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination. It’s pretty much a staple of Black culture.
