Wakanda Forever
Disneyland have dedicated a touching mural to Chadwick Boseman. The 'Black Panther' star passed away at the age of 42 in late August.
The mural is located in the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It depicts Chadwick Boseman doing the Wakanda salute alongside a young child wearing a hospital gown and a Black Panther mask.
The piece thus references how the actor visited children fighting cancer while he himself was battling colon cancer.
Nikkolas Smith, an artist and former Disney theme park designer, painted the artwork.
He shared a picture of it on Instagram.
"This one is special," he captioned it. "My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney.
"It is a full circle moment for me: my final two projects as a Disney Imagineer last summer were working on the Children’s Hospital project and the Avengers Campus.
"To millions of kids, T'Challa was a legend larger than life, and there was no one more worthy to fill those shoes than Chadwick Boseman. I'm so thankful to be able to honor Chadwick's life and purpose in this way.
"I am grateful to the Disney family for being so supportive of my journey as an artist."
The post, which you can see below, also includes a video of the mural being unveiled.
