i opened up instagram for the last time today and the first post i see is of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. I haven’t seen many of his movies, mostly those of Marvel. I remember the shock of seeing a new superhero when I went to see CA: Civil War, and one of a different culture, different race, different language, yet human all the same. I remember the days we watched his movie ‘Get on Up’ back in 8th grade music class, remember hearing his singing, and remember the way he was able to mold himself into the character so well. I remember that out of all the movies we watched that year of great musicians, Get on Up and The Jacksons: An American Dream were the only two that stuck with me. Then I watched his Marvel movies, and today, with a heavy heart, I have to admit that I still haven’t watched Black Panther. I don’t know why I never watched it, still don’t know why I never took the time to sit down and watch the 2 hours it will take.
So my apologies to Mr. Boseman for never watching Black Panther’s movie and appreciating all the hard work and dedication he put into it, my condolences to his wife and family.
May he Rest in Power.
