Tributes for Chadwick Boseman pour in from friends and co-stars

Chadwick Boseman, who died after a battle with colon cancer, was someone who on the big screen brought to life heroes like Jackie Robinson and Thurgood Marshall and fictional ones, like the Black Panther. CNN's Stephanie Elam, also a fellow Howard University alum, takes a look back at Boseman's illustrious legacy.

    2. Awesome!! Well said. Males me reflect. I’m a stage 4 stomach, stage 4 liver, and stage 4 spleen cancer survivor, all at the same time!! I’m walking into my purpose next week. Really makes me think and PRAISE GOD!!

    1. Diali Diali He’s just a mad little child because his passing will go relatively unnoticed, while this MAN was respected by millions and will actually be remembered.

  2. I’m totally shocked because I didn’t even know he was ill. Although he had other roles, the world will always remember him as T’Challa/Black Panther. RIP Chadwick Boseman (far too young to leave the world).

    1. BTW, 21 Bridges is an awesome detective thriller. Never could have guessed he was ill? He shines in that. God bless his memory. He will continue as a cultural icon, through his movies; through his art ✌️

    2. @Space Force Commander, General ‘Spanky Bonespurs’ : yea that true but he probably didnt want anyone to pity him

    3. @Thyalwaysseek he played jackie Robinson in 42 he played james brown in get on up he played in marshall that’s just to name a few he portrayed some true icons

  3. Boseman’s last message to his fans just a couple weeks before his untimely passing was an enthusiastic call to vote (alongside a photo of himself with Kamala). We need to all channel that energy on election day and exercise our most sacred right as Americans.

    1. @Randomly In accurate thanks. And it’s tragic that we have managed to kill 180k people…
      I mean would someone have told me everything that would happen this year a year ago I’d tell them that they are on drugs and should get help

    2. @Randomly In accurate I know what you mean but actually, believe it or not that makes perfect sense if you understand how empathy works. Masses, big numbers of people dying, whlie sad, usually the brain doesn’t know how to process it very well, we all know people die, it’s only when you take it to the personal level that it actually gets you. So it’s not strange that hearing about a relatively young guy with apparently everything in life that still couldn’t beat death would be an effective reminder.

  4. He died with dignity his character of integrity will live on as a true “King” you will always be our hero, rest well my Black Brother!

    1. @Donato Davis Well said.
      Don’t worry about that guy Dale he’s a racist troll who has nothing better to do than fight with people online #getalifedale

    1. @Jamail -van Westering And? The movies are based on Marvel comic characters created by a white man Stan Lee, you’re all acting like he’s speaking some kind of profound ancient wisdom from African culture.

    2. @Jamail -van Westering I thought it was pretty self apparent, you’re all acting like he’s speaking some kind of profound ancient wisdom from African culture instead of a line from a movie script.

    1. 1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them: 

      2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race.

      3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them.

      4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, “No!” And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, “We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you “. I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9]

      5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37]

      6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, “But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: “The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life”. [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3]

      8 This  Message  says that  the  world council  of  churches, the ecumenical  council of  churches,  associations, unions, federations and confederations of churches … Catholic churches, orthodox churches, Methodist churches, Eckankar, the sect of Horus, Lutheran churches, Anglican churches, Mahikari, Baptist churches, Rosicrucianism, Nazarene churches, Scientology, esotericism, Anabaptist churches, Voodoo, Adventist churches, companions of Jesus, Emmaus mission, Inner Life,  Jehovah’s witnesses,  witnesses of Jesus, foursquare churches.

      9 Freemasons, Pentecostal churches, the worship of Inca gods, Protestant churches, Krishna,  the church of Christ, transcendental meditation, the Grail, spiritualists, evangelical churches, Mormons, Guru Maharaja, Islam and Judaism and all the so-called revealed or restored churches… prayer camps, monasteries, convents, missions and ministries including the Branhamists, that is to say, those who still follow the Message of William Branham, even in its purity, are purgatories and nets of Satan to send mankind to hell and the spirits that act in those churches are not the Holy Spirit, but demons of seduction. Those are the same demons that were in the rivers, creeks, masks, Voodoo, forests and sacred groves, customs and traditions and which raised up traditional fetish priests. [Kc.10v1]

      10 This Message says that Islam, Christianity and Judaism are the three spirits of frog in Revelation 16:13. These three religions claim to be of Abraham. These three religions believe in Moses. These three religions do not believe in living prophets but each claims to be of a prophet that it did not know. Each of them has its own holy book. And all three are waiting for the Messiah. They are the three spirits of frog in Revelation 16:13. This Message says that they are the same demons that raised up Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, James Brown, Madonna, Papa Wemba that have raised up, today, those Christian groups and singers like Tabitha Lemaire, Don Moen, Exo Eclats, Yolanda Adams and Celine Dion… [Kc.59v33] [Kc.113v10] [Kc.118v11] [Kc.131v4]

  5. Absolutely devastating. I’m still trying to process this. It feels like a bad dream you can’t wake up from

  6. My heart goes out to his wife, family and friends. I’m devastated and didn’t even personally know him.

    1. Calvin P WOW. You’re just a PURE EVIL TROLL. We will ALL pray for you. Clearly you’re not happy with your life . . . just the opposite of Mr. Boseman.

    3. @Calvin P You are just angry because no one cares about you, and no one would care if you were gone tomorrow. You are sad, pathetic, and miserable. Enjoy.

  7. He did all this while he was sick. Just goes to show why you should love your neighbor because you never know what someone is going through. Rest for now…😔

    1. That is one thing that hasn’t sunken in with me yet , the fact that he indured all the pain that he was going through till the day he passed away . Only the strongest and the toughest like Chadwick can .
      Sensing his intelligence and kindness i was a big fun of his . It is such a tragic to see him gone too soon.
      May God RIP your beautiful soul Mr Chadwick Boseman!! 🙏💥💛💚💙💫

  8. After learning of Chadwicks death, nothing seems to matter at this point in time. Not the pandemic, not the diviciveness of our country’s politics, not the current racial tensions in our country.. Nothing. . In this moment in time I’m just mourning my Brother. Rest in Peace. Job well done. You will be remembered forever. 🙏

    1. @Thyalwaysseek ✋ wait you are saying Wakanda isn’t real? Is wrestling real? Yes. Two men fight until one is rendered unconscious for 3 seconds . Is Santa 🎅 real? 👍 yes indeed. Sooo….nah I’m just kidding. Wakanda is fake news.

    2. @JJ Ortega JJ Ortega, ok first of all, thank you for taking thyalwaysseek down, but you don’t gotta be racist as hell like that bro? Blacks and whites are equal, blacks aren’t better, whites aren’t better, everyone on this earth is human, and equal.

    3. @WW1 German C.S.A. Riflemen fair enough but the way the things these Devils say just makes me wonder how some ppl are born like that

    4. @JJ Ortega Ok but most white people don’t like them either, racism is taught not a condition, and please don’t call us devils, or else you are no better than the white racists. Please know, most of us white people hate racists.
