When actor Chadwick Boseman passed away unexpectedly last year, the news shook the world.

Boseman was only 43 years old at the time, and many were shocked to find out that he had been secretly battling cancer. He was best known for his roles playing Black Panther and Jackie Robinson, and he’s even won awards for his acting posthumously. Now, Boseman’s alma mater has announced they will be naming their College of Fine Arts after him.
Chadwick Boseman graduated from Howard University in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in directing. During his time at the school, the College of Fine Arts was merged with the College of Arts and Sciences, and Boseman led protests to try and stop the change, according to The Washington Post.

Even though he failed in his goal at the time, The Washing Post has reported that the College of Fine Arts has recently been re-established. Now, in Boseman’s honor, it will be called the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts.

In addition to the new name, Walt Disney Company chairman Bob Iger is set to fundraise for a new building and endowment for the college, according to CNN.

We’re glad to see that Boseman’s beloved College of Fine Arts has been re-established under his name, and we hope that it trains another great generation of actors, directors, and entertainers alike. We’ll make sure to keep you updated on any more Chadwick Boseman-related news, so stay tuned to AllEars.
