In his prime, Chadwick Boseman made history by ushering in a new era at Marvel with Black Panther — a role that was portrayed with such dignity and grace that it became the first solo superhero feature in MCU to gross over a billion dollars, surpassing such legacy IPs as Captain America, Hulk, and Thor.

With music, culture, and a warm vibrancy that’s unparalleled by any other film within the franchise, Black Panther stood out not merely for its exceptional storytelling but for the power exuded by Boseman himself. But tragedy struck when the beloved actor was taken too soon after a cruel, unfair, and secret battle against cancer.

The irrefutable legacy of Chadwick Boseman lies within that one story. Black Panther encompassed the actor’s sheer commitment to his duty, his ability to create miracles out of legends and stories, and his willingness to sacrifice a part of himself to bring joy and wonder to the fans through the tale of an indomitable superhero.

Chadwick Boseman’s Last Act of Service to the Country

While the concerns about his health were largely kept a secret, Chadwick Boseman did not shy away from divulging his other hopes, thoughts, and ideals. One of them was his political inclination wherein he strongly voiced his support for then VP-Elect, Kamala Harris.

On August 12, 2020, the Marvel actor tweeted a photo of the duo to show his solidarity in favor of the candidate, along with the caption “YES @KamalaHarris!” 16 days later, he passed away and the tweet remained his last act of service toward the country and its people.

In the aftermath of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race against Donald Trump, it is the current Vice President Kamala Harris who inherits the duty to run as the Democratic Party candidate.

With the election now looming and both parties garnering support for the upcoming battle, Chadwick Boseman’s last tweet now stands as a resounding reminder of why one must pay closer attention to the country’s current state and which candidate will best pave the way toward a better future.

With the conception of Black Panther, a legacy was born. For the first time, Marvel saw unity among fans across racial, cultural, and linguistic divides to a point where the only thing that mattered was a celebration of the story and what it represented — the first Black superhero film in history to fetch a billion dollars at the box office, earn 7 Oscar nominations, and win 3. But most importantly, Black Panther became the first superhero feature to earn a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards.

This was the power of storytelling that was born from the magical collaboration of Ryan Coogler and a cast of equally talented, wonderfully supportive actors — all led at the helm by Chadwick Boseman.

Through his 2018 film, Boseman not only united an entire generation of fans but also created history as an African-American person himself. Out of the 3 prestigious Oscar wins, 2 were won by Ruth E. Carter and Hannah Beachler for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design respectively. Both Oscar winners went on to become the first African-Americans to win the Academy Award in their respective categories.

Black Panther is available to stream on Disney+

With Kamala Harris (Democrat) and Donald Trump (GOP) as candidates, the Presidential Election will be held on November 5, 2024.
