“We all know what it’s like to be told that there is not a place
for you to be featured. ... We know what it’s
like to be told there’s not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you
to be featured on. We know what it’s like to be the tail and not the head. We
know what it’s like to be beneath and not above.”
“That is what we went
to work with every day,” Boseman continued. “Because we knew … that we had something
special that we wanted to give the world. That we could be full human beings in
the roles that we were playing. That we could create a world that exemplified a
world that we wanted to see.”
