We Celebrate The Life And Legacy Of Chadwick Boseman

By now we know you all are aware of the untimely death of our brother Chadwick Boseman. This is definitely a shocker and a major tug at the hearts of those of us in Black America. This man was a symbol of Black Excellence with each and every role he played in cinema. From 42, Get On Up, to Black Panther which catapulted him into superstardom we fell in love with how he represented us in such a positive and powerful way.

He was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016 but managed to deliver amazing bodies of work under those circumstances. He lost the battle to cancer on August 28, 2020, at 43 years of age. 

We are all saddened and 2020 has definitely dealt some heavy blows to the Black community. But in his honor, we will keep pushing. He showed us through even the worse disease known to man that you can still exert Black Excellence with class and poise. RIP Chadwick. You're forever in our hearts.

It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman.⁣ ⁣ Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. ⁣ ⁣ A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. ⁣ ⁣ It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. ⁣ ⁣ He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. ⁣ ⁣ The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time. ⁣ ⁣ Photo Credit: @samjonespictures
