Chadwick Boseman stars as Jackie Robinson in “42”
CONGRATULATIONS…
to fellow Howard University Alum Chadwick “Chad” Boseman for his leading role in the film “42” which opens this weekend.
“42” is about the life of baseball great, Jackie Robinson who integrated Major League Baseball joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
Good Peoples
I am thrilled for Chad, who was a directing major when we were at Howard. He’s been working his way through guest starring acting roles and independent film roles for a few years. Landing this lead opposite Harrison Ford is icing on the cake.
But what I want you to know most is that Chad is what we call “good peoples”. I know that’s not “good English”, but that’s how we describe folks that are truly good-natured. We hit it off because I’m from Georgia and Chad was from South Carolina and he was just “good peoples”. He was cool to everyone.
And Humble
If I had to describe Chad in one word it would be humble. And not like fake humility that we see sometimes. He’s genuinely an humble dude.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:5, Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. That’s what I think about. That’s the kind of humility that Chad models.
Gotta Go
I just wanted to drop you all a line this morning that there are some “good peoples” in Hollywood making good films about subject matter that makes a difference. Go out and support if you can.
I gotta go. They’re telling us to shut off our devices on my flight. Headed to New Jersey for a performance.
Reminder
Remember to tune in later today to the “Can Anything Good Come Out of Hollywood?” Faith & Hollywood Teleseminar that takes place today with me and Os Hillman, Thursday, April 11, 4 PM PT, 7 PM ET.
Looking forward,
Naima
