BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Wakanda Alliance Program in Buffalo paid tribute to actor Chadwick Boseman Tuesday night.
The Wakanda Alliance Program held a brief press conference to send condolences to the Boseman family and laid out plans to celebrate Chadwick's life throughout the rest of this year.
The Wakanda Alliance Program in Buffalo was birthed after the release of the historic "Black Panther" film and created in order to build the community of the African Diaspora using the framework of Afrofuturism.
The press conference will took place at Feed Buffalo on 456 Massachusetts Avenue.
Boseman, who played Black icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown with searing intensity before finding fame as the regal "Black Panther" in the Marvel cinematic universe, died Friday of a four year battle with colon cancer. He was 43.
