The late Chadwick Boseman was born in Anderson, South Carolina, a city that, like many in the Palmetto State, also features a Confederate statue. The 118-year-old monument — which is dedicated to the Confederate veterans of Anderson County and bears the inscription, “The world shall yet decide in truth’s clear far off light, that the soldiers who wore the gray and died with Lee were in the right” — was vandalized back in June, and now there’s a petition to replace it wit

It has been said many times that the Marvel movie “Black Panther” is an important landmark. I’m not referring to its deserved critical and box office success worldwide, the many awards it has won, or the fact that it is the first film in the superhero genre to be nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.

  • Marvel didn't initially want the characters in " Black Panther" to have accents.
  • But actor Chadwick Boseman, who plays King T'Challa and the titular superhero, said they needed to.

Marvel wasn't entirely on board with Wakandans having African accents in "Black Panther" but act

An incredible feat for the Marvel’s first predominantly black cast that has shattered the narrow-minded idea that black people don’t have international appeal to the masses.
