Here he’s talking to a family where the child will grow up with a Black superhero, unlike the generations before him. When you see the video, you realise, just how much it means to both the family and Boseman himself.

I’m crying right now. Not something I usually do for celebrities because I don’t know them but his spirit was everything. Even more than his talent. He will be missed. Go rest in power King! #WakandaForever #WelcomeHome
