I’m shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of an incredible actor, leader, and man, Chadwick Boseman at the young age of 43. He shined in numerous roles including Jackie Robinson in “42”, James Brown in “Get On Up”, and notably King T’Challa in “Black Panther”.

Chadwick Boseman brought history to life on the silver screen, from Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall.
As Black Panther, he was also a superhero to many.
