The Real African Tradition Behind Black Panther’s Scars The iconic scarification design in Black Panther wasn’t fantasy — it was rooted in real African culture. The Dinka people of South Sudan have practiced ceremonial scarification for centuries as a symbol of identity, courage, and belonging. Each raised mark tells a story of heritage and endurance, reflecting the strength of an ancient tradition that inspired modern storytelling. #BlackHistory #AfricanCulture #DinkaTribe #Scarification #Black
