Show and Tell: Chadwick Boseman Edition 8/31/20

Chadwick was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, per reports. During that time, he gave us Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Infinity War, Endgame, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods. Lord only knows what he was going through on a daily basis.

It’s not lost on me the way the internet bullied Chadwick Boseman the last two years about his appearance, him looking tired, etc to the point where he began deleting photos while he was fighting for his life. You truly never know what people are going through. BE KIND.

I appreciate hearing everyone try to express the devastation of Chadwick Boseman's death, because the unbelievable shock of it paired with the new meaning of the defiance in his performances is basically beyond articulation.

Black Hollywood is small. Like a small village. When you think about it, there’s really a handful of us working actors, writers, HODs, crew, directors in a massive industry. One absence devastates. Chad loomed large among us. We will miss him, never forget him, love him - always. pic.twitter.com/yB3S9q8L40

In the late 90s, a group of Howard University students were accepted into a prestigious theatre program at Oxford, but they couldn't afford it.

Their teacher, Phylicia Rashad, turned for help to Denzel Washington, who paid for it.

One of those students was Chadwick Boseman. pic.twitter.com/VOZj5AS4VJ

Watching this Video of Chadwick Boseman talking about exchanging letters with children battling with terminal cancer and how they want to watch black panther before they die will leave you in tears 😭

What it must have meant to Chadwick Boseman to bring joy to children battling cancer as he was fighting his own battle.

Like the king, the beautiful human being, that he was. https://t.co/k8GZYSImLn

I know there’s a lot going on and most places are open and people are returning to their normal lives. Please be careful and aware that Covid-19 is still a very real threat. We’re going to see another spike if we’re not careful. Wear your masks, social distance, do what you can.
