“Black Panther @theblackpanther is hands down the crowning achievement of the @Marvel universe.” ~@RobertDowneyJr

“Chadwick played great men and he was a great man. Bringing real life characters to screen with amazing humanity & nobility. The only actor we ever discussed to play T’Challa was Chadwick Boseman.” ~@Kevfeige, President of @MarvelStudios #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty
~@ForestWhitaker shares that, during the coronation scene, Chad said to him that he could feel the energy. That it was as if a transformation was taking place. #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty
“To all of those little kids that love Black Panther and looked to T’Challa as their hero, just know that the guy who played him is an even bigger hero in real life.” ~Paul Rudd on Chadwick Boseman #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty
"The level of faith that you needed to dive into this film with wasn't the same as other properties that you may get into. Because we had more ownership of the story we were creating." ~Winston Duke on @theblackpanther. #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty on @MSNBC
Timeline, if I'm not mistaken:
2014: Chadwick Boseman is announced as T'Challa
2016: Ryan Coogler is announced as director
Jan 2017: Black Panther starts shooting the day after 45's inauguration
Feb 2018: Black Panther is released

Happy to see @FredTJoseph get due credit for creating the #BlackPantherChallenge during this @MSNBC edition of #Headliners featuring @theblackpanther. #WakandaForever #BlackPantherWatchParty
Credit where due. We got the news on Friday nite. 48 hours later, @Disney via @ABC had a fitting tribute for Chadwick Boseman led by the incomparable @RobinRoberts. No small feat to turn it around & get the star power they did.

Now....what's next? I have some ideas @RobertIger.

Thanks to @MayaRupert for leading the live tweet. Let’s go! #WakandaForever is our hashtag.
The story I read is that Sterling's character N'Jobu was planning to break out of prison his wife, Erik's mother, who was being held as a political prisoner. #WakandaForever
Notice the details this time. The Public Enemy posters on the wall, for example. We will see Huey Newton image in the rattan chair later. Those are thanks to Hannah Beachler, @chinchilla1970, the production designer, who won an Oscar for her work in this film. #WakandaForever

My mother just texted me that I need to turn on Rev. Al. I turned on the TV and he said "We have too many holy punks in the pulpit." I sat straight up.
Rev. Al going straight at @nflcommish & the @NFL: "Don't apologize; give @Kaepernick7 his job back. Don't come w/ an empty apology as you take a man's livelihood & strip him of his talents. When Colin took a knee, he did so for the families in this building." #GeorgeFloydFuneral
~@TheRevAl: "God took an ordinary brotha from the 3rd Ward housing projects, that no one thought much about. God took the stone that the builder rejected. They rejected Floyd for jobs & positions. God took Floyd and made him the cornerstone that is going to change the world."

I've been struggling for a week about whether to share this, because it was a personal moment. But I think it may help someone with perspective, so here we are.

When I travel, there's always something nice waiting for me when I get home. Never expected, always appreciated.
This time, the gift didn't wait for me to cross the threshold. When I got off of one of my flights on January 2, my phone was blowing up: "Julián is out." It took me a minute to process, but I got it. @JulianCastro had ended his 2020 presidential run. I was blown.
My top 3 candidates have always been Kamala, Julián and Warren, in no particular order. They all had their strengths, but the only "weakness" that @JulianCastro had was that he wasn't getting the media attention others were. He had experience, solid policies, a path forward.
