CHADWICK BOSEMAN'S INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH at the 2017 NAACP Freedom Fund Awards Dinner

[@anitawebster-harris6808]

Awwww😭😭😭 This really hurts so much... Chadwick was smart, educated, talented, annointed AND woke!!! Lord knows I believe he may have served his purpose in the small time that he was here with us on earth, we truly were blessed with his presence, but I still feel so cheated that he just scratched the surface of everything that he COULD have done and become😢... I really cry over this man, never met him... didn't know him but still feel a connection to him that I will really miss so much, thank you Chadwick for EVERYTHING ❤ This message was received loud and clear.... May you rest with the loving father in eternal peace forever!😘🙏🏾❤😢

[@chideraanyanwoke4901]

Facts...I didn't know him or nothhng but I cry so hard when I see a picture or video of him. I feel like we had a very strong connection...it hit hard 🥺😔😥😭💔

[@saltandlight1]

Agree! Martin Luther King said: Longevity has its place...

[@nellysailunga956]

He was good in every thing

[@aqueminiqueen7]

💯 AMEN I couldn't have said this any better !!! My exact sentiments ... I love & miss him without even knowing him but oh what a beautiful soul gone too soon !!! 💔😢

[@naominamujju2254]

I cry too and I feel like I know Chad.God keeps telling me Chad served his purpose and what he did is what God wanted him to do.I miss him every single day.I had a dream today and I woke up hearing myself saying to Chad,"You have taught me the meaning of black".So true.He has opened my eyes to who we are.Love you Chad.

[@MOMO-hx1hr]

Some people are born to serve as God’s messengers. To open our minds and hearts, to accept and question our right to inhabit the earth equally. Not afraid to take the road least traveled, learning from adversity so we can become our purpose. That is the legacy of Chadwick Bozeman. Rest in Power king

[@quewyw9001]

He was a Anointed, Deep, Unique Woke brother, for sure. His space and absence is truly felt, the world is a little less because of his absence.

[@KW-hk8ry]

I have never met him in the flesh but I dreamed of him and it was so vivid! It appeared to be a college setting and he looked so healthy. I asked him how he was doing and he said “good, I am well “. In parting he said “Africa”. This has stuck with me because I desire to teach African studies at a HBCU. Chadwick Boseman motivates me to carry out my desires. Bless all who read this ♥️

[@naominamujju2254]

Its powerful how God is using Chad even when he's gone.I've had guidance from God through dreams with Chad speaking to me.Nice knowing this is happening to others too.He was chosen indeed.

[@irispowell5415]

Hello I need

[@kdoc19961]

Listening to this speech makes his death even more hard to swallow. I agree that you can't put heroes on pedestals because it sets an unrealistic burden on those who come behind them as well as a unobtainable level of perfection that the hero cannot live up to. Chad you were a good person while you were here. It's my hope that you are written down in Jehovah's book of life.

[@Topg1]

His brother said that he is a born again Christian.

[@sylviakalumba8302]

Amen

[@chideraanyanwoke4901]

The more I watch his videos the more I know that God wanted him up there...but I just feel like it was so early...he knew was gonna go...he asked his brother to get him ready...and the next day he died...he didnt leave God in every step he took...God made a good one...I hope to see you on the other side....I'm so devastated

[@veroniquedusabe513]

Very true.... But we didn't see it! He was a messenger sent to us by God

[@staicynamanya2522]

he was set free. He heard Gods voice and he had to leave

[@janettgordon8971]

Thank you Jesus for sharing ChadwicK with us. SIP

[@merryrose8959]

He's always give God the glory he knew who he's belong too and from where his greatness come from RIP Chadwick !

[@vintagechick4086]

That is a word. He said so much only being on this earth for a short while. His words have always been thoughtful. I wish I would have paid more attention to his words when he was here. Gone too soon.

[@Noahedd7]

I feel the same! I didn't know him by name. I loved watching him on screen, but didn't realize his true worth. Never heard his speeches, I only enjoyed his movies. When it came across my phone and said, "Chadwick Boseman" from "Black Panther" passed. I said, "let me see who that is". When I saw who it was, I was sad and hurt. So, I feel as you do, I wish, I'd have paid more attention to who he was, and listened more attentively. That's what we do. We think that people will always be around. We take too much for granted. God bless us all 🙏🏾🖤💝

[@happymissie]

Oh my goodness....What an anointed man we lost too soon. We must continue to fight the good fight of faith everyday. Be encouraged my sisters and brothers because God is not a man that he should lie. Surely there is a future and our hope will not be cut off. I speak life to you right now in Jesus name. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@juanitaredrick4246]

Never met you but, I feel like I knew you. You were a man of God. I can see and feel God in you. You had a purpose and you fulfill your purpose God had for you. I wish you were still with us but, God knows best. RIP. I pray that God will bless and comfort your love ones.

[@angelahall62]

This man was very incredible and went unnoticed for his true conviction to motivate every one to do better

[@Topg1]

Yllom Sik Only his family and friends truly knew him. Most of us watched his movies and his tv appearances.

[@ArtButFood]

Wow. Every video I find of this man I’m More amazed. What a man ! What a soul ! Gone too soon. May he R. I.P. God wanted you closer to him

[@legendforever3995]

My exact feelings 💜

[@sheilaadoeaddison5965]

Exactly same here

[@maryalston7462]

I've never seen nor heard such an in depth spiritual actor/artist in my life. He was truly an anointed man of God.

[@MsRebirth123]

Yeah, I also wish I had follow his life and career more closely, I practically saw all his movies after he died. The only one I watch before was 42, but at least I did buy my own dvd copy. But now I check KZbin every day for all his stuff, and I can really appreciate and I am still learning from all he has done

[@lovelyone1451]

I believe that he is with Jesus R.I.P Chadwick

[@sheilaadoeaddison5965]

I believe so

[@realperfection7713]

He is amen

[@crystalthompson885]

He's not Jesus... but he is Gabriel!!😇🙏 He had a mission, that was fulfilled then he had to leave...he's 😊!!

[@angelshekinah5799]

Amen me too

[@Worlds_to_Explore]

It is nice to know that he too knew the works of Dr. Emoto. Chadwick Boseman was an enlightened soul.

[@ememmichaeludo2044]

The intelligence and eloquence of this man amazes me every time. He is like Aristotle, Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X all rolled into one. His activism and love for his people is simply beautiful. May his ingenuity, courage and genuine nature never be forgotten. He is indeed one in a generation and a political and cultural icon. Chadwick forever, Wakanda forever.✊✊✊✊

This was a very eye opening and profound speech by Chadwick Boseman.

[@maryalston7462]

[@ruthwiggins5458]

We must hear what he is saying with our hearts and not our ears. At times when you hear with your ears, you get offended, when you listen with heart God himself will direct you to the message and do something about it. God bless us all.

[@janeilenguru5290]

Great mind!! Never knew him, never met him, but I feel his absence! Keep resting in eternal peace 💞

[@Noahedd7]

I Love that man! He speaks so eloquently, with truth and knowledge. When I listen to him, I see Presidental. I believe he could've been the one to help lead us all on the right course. "Wakanda Forever " Rest in Peace my brother🙏🏾🖤❤

[@maryalston7462]

I have that same thought. He could have been our next black President

[@khumoyo795]

Very true...

[@sarassielee41970]

Beautiful speech! Always love to hear Chadwick speak! Continue to rest in peace.

[@Tswakilee]

Oh wow!!! I've never heard this speech before. He truly was a man of great faith. Yes we miss him like crazy but God took him before his soul got tainted, because he was a beautiful soul that needed to be protected at all costs. Love him and hope to meet him in the next life. Rest well Chad ❤️🕊️

[@catherinekahehu5461]

His final bit of his speech tells alot about what he was already going through. Seems like he had earlier been misdiagnosed. Chadwick spoke with alot of poise, confidence, intelligence, knowledge, conviction and spirituality. Heaven gained a beautiful angel.Rest in Power King🤴

[@jacquiebain9148]

Wow what an eloquent and wise young man! So much to offer but great accomplishments in short life...so sad but God knows best! 🙏🏽

He will forever lives in our hearts although physically he is not here. We sadly missed him. Gone too soon. May his soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon him.

Still sad. Don’t understand why God didn’t heal him of cancer (he just got married , at the peak of his career, he reach a peak of success most of us will never see). God, ways are not mine. I’m heard that he was a born again Christian. He is with Christ. God, continue to comfort his widow and the rest of his family.
