The Obamas commemorated Chadwick Boseman
The passing of talented American actor Chadwick Boseman, who died prematurely of colon cancer at the age of 43, shocked the whole world. The couple Michelle and Barack Obama were also touched by the news of his death. They paid tribute to the deceased actor on social networks. Among other things, Barack Obama recalled his visit to the White House when he played the role of Jackie Robinson, and Michelle Obama added:
"Only Chadwick could embody Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, and T’Challa. He, too, knew what it meant to persevere. To summon real strength. And he belongs right there with them as a hero—for Black kids and for all our kids. There’s no better gift to give our world."
