“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.” Thank you @nikkolas_smith for sharing this beautiful artwork. He would never let the kids see that he was fighting cancer too... To them, he was and will forever be T'Challa... The King✨ A portion of the proceeds of this print will go to @childrensla and @stjude (www.Nikkolas.Art) so if you can support in anyway this is an amazing cause. . . . #LongLiveTheKing #BlackPanther #RIPChadwick #ChadwickBoseman #CHLA #StJude #WakandaForever
