Please remember that time when Chadwick Boseman gave away his MTV award for Black Panther to James Shaw Jr — who fought off MAGA gunman at a Waffle House in Nashville.

Please take 2-minutes and listen to Chadwick Boseman’s words here.
Break out the tissues.
Also, he was dealing with his own colon cancer at the time. And never said a word.
Real-life, Superhero.
Rest, Sir.🌎💔 pic.twitter.com/PaFaPjChWY

This is the first message Chadwick Boseman sent to my son in 2017. He had already been diagnosed with colon cancer, unknown to anyone. Amazing. 🙏🏾💜✊🏾😭 pic.twitter.com/2Tb4V2O8bN
