The world wasn’t ready for the shock of hearing that Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman, had died. He was only 43. Now, November 29th, his birthday we celebrate without him being here.

He was working with young people at the library and he was excited about it. That’s who Chadwick was.”

Before he was cast as the Marvel Studios superhero, Boseman’s career first exploded with his portrayals of Black American icons Jackie Robinson in 2013 in “42” and James Brown in 2014 in “Get on Up.” Boseman also appeared in
