Chadwick Boseman gave the commencement address at Howard University in 2018.

"Sometimes you need to feel the pain and sting of defeat to activate the real passion and purpose that God predestined inside of you.  God says in Jeremiah [29:11], 'I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.  Plans to give you hope and a future.'" (31:05)

"When God has something for you it doesn't matter who stands against it. God will move someone who is holding you back away from a door, and put someone there who will open it for you if it is meant for you." (32:35)

Watch it all.  It's good.  Boseman was a devout believer in Jesus Christ willing to share his faith both in word and action.  We are better for having known him.  Requiescat in pace.
