The list of 14 favorite movies included Chadwick Boseman’s last project. A man who was not only a Black Panther in a movie but the embodiment of Black excellence throughout his personal life. Often, the actor/ activist publicity informed his audience of our true story and fought for what he believed was just.
The announcement of his passing was more than a devastating moment to the culture and movement. In All fields, Chadwick Boseman gave black and brown children a true hero to look up to.
George C. Wolfe’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” is a must-see. The film is Based on August Wilson’s Tony 1982 play. It surrounds the life of a singer played by Viola Davis and her band. The movie depicts a great deal of hardship that follows the thirst for fame.
