A cloud of sadness hangs over Chadwick’s family as the star of Black Panther dies. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us. Our Black panther died of colon cancer at the young age of 43 years. In his last moments, Boseman was with his family and wife at his side in his Los Angles home. Although it was not publicly known Boseman was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago. He was fighting this battle when he appeared as another iconic character, Thurgood Marshall. This was a year before the premiere of Black Panther. It’s such a tragedy that an actor who was so vibrant and full of life has left us.
Boseman who was born in South Carolina was the youngest of three brothers. He was raised by his mother who was a nurse and father who worked in a textile factory. Boseman turned towards Art when he was a junior in High School and had written a Play. After that, he went on to study at Howard University under Phylicia Rashad.

Black Panther dies is all around us now. It is so sad that the actor who brought the role to life is gone. As “Black Panther” the impact Boseman had on the culture is difficult to ignore.

As Black Panther, Boseman showed to the world an image of a powerful and thoughtful Black man who was the leader of a thriving African nation and a superhero who fought battles that were worthy. How appropriate, all this while Boseman was fighting a battle with cancer and outwardly he appeared healthy and at ease. The news of
