It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman.
Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV.
A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.
It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.
He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.
The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

While we’re all missing his incredible spirit today, we are grateful for the lessons and legacy he left behind. This day gave him to us- we will continue to celebrate him and take joy in all of the love you are sending his way.
Happy heavenly birthday, Chad 🤍
The beauties of filming. Always wanted to be Wired with this guy.

𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟳- University students, led by a young Chad Boseman, protest the collapse of the College of Fine Arts during a multi-day demonstration in the administration building.

𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟴- Chadwick Boseman returns to Howard as Commencement Speaker, and President Wayne A.I. Frederick announces plans to re-establish the College of Fine Arts as and independent college.
Just two weeks ago it was announced that the inimitable @phyliciarashad will serve as Dean of the new College of Fine Arts, and today we are pleased to announce that the re-established college will be named in honor of our king.
Chad, you exemplify Howard’s core values of excellence, leadership, service, and truth. There is no one more deserving of such an honor.
We are so proud of you, we love you, and we miss you every day.
Congratulations to all the future students of the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts!

This quilt by @bisabutler is stunning! Such a beautiful tribute to our beloved Chadwick. It will be on display at @LACMA’s #BlackAmericanPortraits alongside the #ObamaPortraits, opening November 7th. We couldn’t be happier or more honored for his image to be featured in such an iconic exhibition.
Thank you, Bisa. #FanArtFriday

He put every part of himself into every role he ever took on. It was a true honor for Chad to receive a posthumous Creative Arts #Emmys Award for his voice work in @marvelstudios’ @whatif. 🙏🏾 #BlackPanther

Spike was calling a play. But on a hot summer day during water festival, we had an audible. Pure joy with #Da5Bloods
On June 19, 1865, Union troops landed on the Texas shores to let the enslaved people of the state know they had been freed from slavery more than two years earlier on January 1, 1863 by Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
Knowing Chadwick Boseman has always been about reveling in both the joy and the lessons in life, so today we celebrate #Juneteenth as a nation for the first time, making sure that we also understand it’s history.
This symbolic victory is a step in the right direction, but we have miles ahead of us as we continue to fight for equity, reparations and justice reform, and against voter suppression, food insecurity and the laundry list of issues that have debilitated our community for centuries.
Everyone’s traditions around this holiday may be different, but it’s vital that we continue to accurately acknowledge our past, celebrate present victories, and move forward in unity to build a better future.

And here’s a great reading list for kids and adults that can help educate you on our history: http://bit.ly/aabooklist
