From the box-office shattering “Black Panther” to his recent hilarious SNL debut, it’s clear that 2018 is Chadwick Boseman’s year. And it’s only getting better.
Howard University recently announced that the actor, who is also an alum, will be the commencement speaker for the Class of 2018.
“I’m excited to return to the Mecca in celebration of the achievements of our illustrious students,” Boseman said in a university press release.
“Let’s listen, learn and build with one another.”
It’s no secret that Boseman loves him some HBCUs.
As the Huff Post noted, earlier this year the actor told the Chicago Tribune that the safe haven and peace that exists in the fictional Wakanda, actually lives at historically Black colleges and universities.
“It is a Wakanda to a certain degree. There is definitely a lot of T’Challa there,” he said.
“If you have a blanketed idea of what it means to be of African descent and you go to Howard University, you’re meeting people from all over the diaspora — from the Caribbean, any country in Africa, in Europe. So you’re seeing people from all walks of life that look like you but they sound different.”
Howard’s graduation will take place on May 12.
