. @michaelharriot talks about the "necessity of existence." That some things should be created so that that thing will exist in the world.

In Black Panther, @chadwickboseman let himself be a vessel for several necessary things. He reminds us... (1/n) https://twitter.com/equartey/status/1138184738877976579
That another world is possible. https://twitter.com/tracydeonn/status/1299539933321928704?s=20
That we are enough. That we can be so much more. https://twitter.com/ClintSmithIII/status/1299536651870502912?s=20
That deep kinship is possible. Across oceans. Across time. That we have a responsibility to each other. That these bonds run deep. https://twitter.com/itsjeptum/status/1299598657776504832?s=20
That kings feel deeply. That a man can be - must be - soft. That we cannot let this world make us hard. https://twitter.com/MatthewACherry/status/1299592995495239680
That we are living wonders.

That we are the wild imaginings of those who came before us, and that we must be stewards and nurturers of the future for those who will come after us. https://twitter.com/laura_hudson/status/1299547384456851456?s=20
That there is a home for us.

Despite it all.
Despite aaallll of it.

That there is a home for us that we make together, and that there is no shame in longing for that place.
That another world is possible. https://twitter.com/equartey/status/873515074706694145
Black Panther was a flame that illuminated a universe of possibility.

Thousands of Black kids suddenly saw the glimmering outlines of something sublime, and many will move the earth to make it real.

We will be buried in a world those kids will build. https://twitter.com/equartey/status/965256050516660224
Thank you, Chadwick, for fighting to bring this gift to us. For sharing this gift with us. Despite it all.

You are my hero.
