After his sad death last year, kids honored Chadwick Boseman at the 2021 Golden Globes in a super sweet way.
TikTok user La'Ron Hines and a group of young kids appeared in a hilarious segment during the 2021 Golden Globes, where they paid tribute to the late Black Panther star who died in August after a battle with colon cancer. In the segment, Hines asked a group of kids (who attend his parents' day care center and often appear in his viral TikTok videos) questions about the nominees at the 2021 Golden Globe Awards.
While the kids did not know how movies are made (who does?) and did not know what The Queen's Gambit is about ("firetrucks," one kid responded), they were able to answer one question with precise accuracy. "Who is Chadwick Boseman?" Hines asked them.
"The Black Panther!" they responded.
"Chadwick Boseman is the good guy!" one kid added.
They are so right. Boseman played the Marvel superhero in the 2018 film, Black Panther, in addition to appearing in other Marvel films like Avengers: Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War. In addition to his role as King T'Challa, Boseman also appeared in a number of iconic roles and was nominated for a 2021 Golden Globe Award for his leading role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
Out of all of the nominees to honor, Boseman was the perfect choice.
The kids' enthusiasm while talking about Boseman and his role shows just how much of an impact he had, and proves that his legacy will continue to live on, long after his death.
As one Twitter user put it perfectly: "Kids are soooo funny, but to see they ALL knew who Chadwick Boseman was is only a testament to how extraordinary, wonderful, and amazing he truly was!"
So perfectly stated.
