Chadwick Boseman’s final tweet before his death in 2020 was both personal and political.
On August 11, 2020, Boseman’s then-verified Twitter account featured a photo of “The Black Panther” star embracing then-Senator Kamala Harris. It was the same day President Joe Biden announced Harris would be his running mate for the White House.
“YES @KamalaHarris!,” the tweet with three clapping hand emojis reads. “#WhenWeAllVote #Vote2020.” The next tweet is from August 28, 2020, which announced Boseman had died after privately battling colon cancer since 2016. He was 43. Boseman’s death was shocking to many, but not his support of Harris.
