Howard University is renaming its College of Fine Arts after one of its most acclaimed alums: actor Chadwick Boseman.

Legends live on, and so is Chadwick Boseman. He will always be the Black Panther.

I am not here to talk about Chadwick Boseman as the actor. But of what he represents, he and others like him.

America has its black president in Obama, has athletes people idolize around the world, musicians, name it, and there is a black man or woman who hasn't done well from politics entertainment and yet, every year you will hear stories of black men killed because of one thing alone, their skin color.

A year ago today, 46-year-old George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis as then–police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. As bystanders begged Chauvin to get up, a teenage girl walking by had the presence of mind to video what was happening. Thanks…
