Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

One of the most touching speeches I have personally ever watched, made more so retroactively when audiences realized that Boseman was privately fighting cancer while passionately honoring his idol. I would strongly advise anyone who has taken this quiz to watch this speech if able; the words do not do Chadwick's oration the right justice.

Phylicia Rashad was the dean of the College of Fine Arts at Howard University, an HBCU and Chadwick Boseman's alma mater. Boseman would be granted his opportunity to have a summer internship at Oxford with some of the most gifted acting prodigies of his generation. He would go on to star in "Black Panther", a Marvel superhero movie that grossed $1.4B at the global box office. Denzel's generosity extended far beyond the few students that semester; reportedly, hundreds of theatre students claim the Academy Award winner as their benefactor.

Chadwick was one of many actors who spoke to honor Denzel on June 6, 2019. He was the 47th recipient of the award. Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, and Morgan Freeman were just a few of the orators that took the stage to honor one of the most talented actors of our generation. Roberts read out a letter of recommendation from one of Denzel's college professors who wrote that Denzel would be "one of the outstanding actors of the latter part of the 20th century".
