Question

Explain how the quote "To be young, gifted and Black" connects to Boseman's life. Use at least two examples from the text to support your response.

Answer 1

As we know, we live in a society where young blacks are devalued and put behind, being deprived of a life full of opportunities where they can grow and develop powerfully. Being a young black man and daring to be talented and victorious is a challenge that few can achieve. For this reason, there are few examples that serve as inspiration for the black community, however, the examples that do exist are striking.

As is the case with Chadwick Boseman who, even in the face of social injustices and an extremely racist society, I managed, through his talent and effort, to establish himself as one of the greatest contemporary actors in our society, even at such a young age. Boseman was an inspiration to many, becoming a hero in and out of cinema and bringing hope and inspiration so that many other young people do not abandon their beliefs independent of their race.
