At the age of 43, Chadwick Boseman has died, leaving behind a legacy unmatched.
The famous Black Panther star was a powerful voice who used art to let an entire generation know that they could do anything if they put their minds to it.
On Friday, the man, who gave life to Wakanda’s king T’Challa, passed away after battling colon cancer with his family, including his new wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, by his side.
The last post shared by Boseman is a powerful one — it is a picture where he is hugging Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The iconic actor used his final tweet and Instagram post to tell Americans to make sure that their voices are heard in November by voting in the presidential election.
Boseman shared the post after Harris was picked to be Joe Biden‘s running mate.
In the photo taken in 2018, Boseman and Harris appeared at the Families Belong Together event to speak up against immigrant children who were being separated from their parents at the U.S./Mexican border because of President Donald Trump‘s policies.
Boseman and Harris both graduated from Howard University, a historically black college, and they appeared to have a close relationship, because the senator from California, shared a heartbreaking post where she called him a friend.
Note that Boseman was a voting advocate and actively encouraged Americans to vote.
Boseman’s death has sent shockwaves on social media, and it left many celebrities and fans devasted.
An emotional, social media user penned this note: “You could tell he had a beautiful spirit by the way he carried himself. His smile was bright, and to know he was fighting such a battle and still had such a beautiful smile is powerful yet heartbreaking.”

The star was called a hero and a king by this backer who is also dealing with health issues: “For someone to have battled colon cancer while filming the first major superhero film is astonishing. The amount of focus and perseverance through chemotherapy and countless surgeries is impossible to measure. Chadwick Boseman, you are a hero among heroes. R.I.P. ?”
