Chadwick Boseman lit up the world with his portrayal of King T’Challa, in Black Panther, showed everybody that James Brown, “paid the cost to be the boss,” in Get On Up, embodied the grace, and courage of Jackie Robinson, in 42, and depicted civil rights icon, Thurgood Marshall, channeling a magistrate of jurisprudence passion, in Marshall. Chadwick Boseman, son, friend, husband, and actor, embodied integrity, character, and sheer Black boy joy, which is why hearing the news that he passed away, yesterday, at age 43, from colon cancer, is a bitter piece of life to process. Chadwick Boseman was a super human being.
