2020 has been a tough year for all of us… and it just got a little tougher.
After a four-year-long battle with colon cancer, famous and beloved actor Chadwick Boseman died today at the age of 43. With roles as Jackie Robinson in 42, Thurgood Marshall in Marshall, and (most famously) Black Panther in Marvel’s “The Avengers” franchise, Boseman was a hero and role-model for the black community.

Tomorrow not promised. Be a good person in the meantime.

It’s a sad time for everyone right now, but good to see people banding together to show love and support for Boseman and his family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to them in this difficult time.
