Chadwick Boseman, the talented actor hailing from Anderson, is set to be posthumously honored with a star on the celebrated Hollywood Walk of Fame this coming November. This prestigious accolade is being awarded by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in recognition of his significant contributions to the film industry.

The ceremony promises to be a poignant event, featuring heartfelt tributes from notable figures such as director Ryan Coogler, acclaimed actress Viola Davis, and Boseman’s wife, Simone Ledward-Boseman, who will graciously accept this honor on his behalf.

Boseman’s untimely passing on August 28, 2020, left a void in cinema, yet his legacy lives on through his unforgettable performances. A proud graduate of Howard University, Boseman first gained widespread acclaim in 2013 with his compelling portrayal of baseball legend Jackie Robinson in ’42’. He further captivated audiences with his dynamic portrayals of James Brown in ‘Get On Up’ and civil rights icon Thurgood Marshall in ‘Marshall’.

However, it was his unforgettable role as T’Challa in Marvel’s groundbreaking ‘Black Panther’ that cemented his status as a cinematic icon. The film garnered seven Academy Award nominations, including a historic nod for Best Picture.

Chadwick Boseman’s star will take its place among the luminaries on the Walk of Fame on Thursday, November 20th, at 11:30 a.m. PT, marking the 2,828th star to be unveiled on this storied boulevard.
