“I'm trying to remember Chad and not Chadwick.

But there have been a lot of Chadwick in the air lately.

When someone becomes a celebrity, you have to share it with the rest of the world.

Me, I always wanted to try to continue to treat him like my brother, declared Kevin Boseman, dancer, actor and author.

And to add that their father, Leroy, always encouraged them to do their best.

“He always did his best.

And when he did his best, it was amazing, ”added the star's brother.

Derrick Boseman, T'Challa's other big brother, is a pastor.

In the interview, he recalled the last discussion he had with Chadwick Boseman.

A reference to American football which today upsets the man of faith.

“He always said Hallelujah.

But one day he said to me "Man, I'm in the fourth quarter and I need you to get me out of the game."

When he told me that, I changed my prayer from "God, heal him, save him" to "God, Thy will be done," "he explained, revealing," The next day. , He was dead ".

Since the announcement of the star's death, initiatives are popping up everywhere to honor his memory.

Including a petition to replace a Confederate monument with a statue in his memory, in the town of Anderson, South Carolina, where he grew up.

But Derrick and Kevin Boseman think there is arguably better way to honor him, like a school named after him.
