As hard as it is to believe, it's been a full year to the day since Chadwick Boseman passed away after a battle with cancer, and tributes have been pouring in for the Black Panther star on social media.
It may seem hard to believe that a full year has passed since we lost Chadwick Boseman, but the Black Panther star tragically passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer on the 28th of August, 2020.
Despite his diagnosis, Boseman was determined to overcome his cancer and remained optimistic that he would return as T'Challa for the Black Panther sequel right until the end. His sense of hope and fighting spirit continue to inspire people around the world, so it's no surprise that tributes have been flooding in on social media.

Not a day goes by one year later, where it doesn’t still hurt. But in the darkness, he always reminds us of the light. He was an angel on this planet and is now a Saint on high. Love you and miss you more than ever… forever. #ChadwickBoseman https://t.co/uHOa8jLEKq

#ChadwickBoseman lived a life of humility and service on and off screen. Chadwick went on to make over 7 films while fighting for his life. He didn't let his diagnosis stop him from showing up for those around him and using his platform to elevate Black voices. A true hero. pic.twitter.com/3beeKoHya9

Hard to believe it’s been a year since Chadwick Boseman passed away. That day still doesn’t feel real nor does the fact that he is gone.
