But he carried the torch.” He continued on about how Robinson had carried the torch on his own for a while before others could help.

I’m an artist. Artists don’t need permission to work. Regardless of whether I’m acting or not, I write. I write when I’m tired in fact, because I believe your most pure thoughts surface.

Friends and Fans Mourn His Death

Jurnee Smollett was one of the people to say something about Boseman’s death. In her tweet, she scolded those who had picked on Boseman for his loss of weight. Smollett hopes that the ‘Black Panther,’ knew how much he meant to everyone.

According to IMDb, one of Boseman’s personal quotes is:
