The life, legacy, and undeniable footprint of Chadwick Boseman were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Famed for his role as T’Challa in the ‘Black Panther’ film franchise, the actor tragically died in 2020 after a brave private battle with cancer.

With the city simultaneously celebrating its first official ‘Chadwick Boseman Day,’ a host of notable names were on hand at the presentation ceremony.

Among those paying tribute were Viola Davis, Ryan Coogler, and Boseman’s widow Simone Ledward-Boseman. All of whom shared personal stories about the impact he had both on and off screen.

Co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Letitia Wright were also on hand to salute.

Davis spoke first, her voice heavy with admiration and grief.

“I have to believe that Chadwick is still alive. I can’t use the word ‘gone’ or ‘death’ really when thinking about him.”

She described how their time on the set of ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ was marked by deep conversations and a sense of awareness she now understands differently. Davis previously spoke in interviews about not knowing about Boseman’s health battle while filming.

Boseman was a “mighty mighty elixir,” she said, thanking him for the purpose he awakened in her.

Coogler followed, calling his friend a pillar of character and clarity.

“When I think of Chadwick Boseman I think of three things: leadership, teaching and generosity.”

Ledward-Boseman closed the ceremony with a tribute that left the crowd visibly moved.

“”You are as brilliant as you were beautiful, and as courageous as you were kind. You lived with honor and you walked in truth. We love you, we miss you, and we thank you”

Boseman’s brothers, Derrick and Kevin, joined her in unveiling the star, which saw his widow place the late actor’s shoes on the star – ensuring his feet symbolically were the first to walk on his star.
