Black Panther was, in many ways, a classic superhero movie made to be a box office smash.

It was also a revolutionary reimagining of the Black American experience.

Someone yelled “man I just want to shake his hand, yo Black Panther,” as I shot this video. Next thing I know my fellow Bison

Onscreen he played legends, but it’s candid ‘offscreen’ moments like these that remind me he is one. [emoji of Raised fist]

@KolaBoof3

In 2019...

BLACK PANTHER replaced the movie "COLOR PURPLE" as the #1 grossing film in AFRICAN (54 nations) history.

Black Panther is described as a "Cultural Phenomenon" throughout Africa just as "Color Purple" was in the mid-1980's.

My 7YO is wearing his Black Panther costume “for Chadwick” today. My 10YO is somber. He came to me this morning & said he was sad b/c he’d heard Black Panther died. He asked, “what are we gonna do now?” Sending love to all the Black kids who are already facing enough Black death.

This is such a beautiful, uplifting and heartbreaking thing.

Black Panther was so much more than just a movie. It was a vital shift in the cultural landscape of an industry that has consistently failed black artists. Representation is everything.

Heroes never die. Heroes live on through their work and through the people they’ve touched. Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of the Black Panther/T’Challa made him an international star yet it was his display of community activism that showed that he was truly connected to it.

I remember my whole fam went to go see Black Panther together. Even for the adults, all grown and some with kids pushing college age, it was their first time seeing a Black superhero on screen. Chadwick touched so many people through his art. Rest in Power, King [emojis of Folded hands,Raised fist, Black heart]

Never thought I would see a black superhero in my lifetime. Black Panther was more than just a silly comic book movie for black Americans. It was representation and empowerment. It was the first time for many of us…

Black Panther was the first movie to stir my heart. It was so subtle that I didn’t really know what it was. I was just excited to see all of these Black kings, queens, and scientists onscreen, kicking ass. Now I can pass it on to my kids.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Boseman. Thank you.

Difficult to express how stunned I am by Chadwick Boseman's passing.

He was my age and his work mattered in a very personal way to me as both a writer of color facing a hostile Hollywood and a dad of Black kids who've been robbed of superheroes.

Thank you King. Find your peace.

This was more than a movie. We finally got to see a hero everyone could relate to, little kids regardless of race wanting to be Black Panther. Seeing another view of Africa, not the struggling Africa and multi dimensional black characters who epitomized #exellence
