Howard University to rename fine arts college in honour of Chadwick Boseman
Washington Post.“Chadwick’s love for Howard University was sincere, and although he did not live to see those plans through to fruition, it is my honor to ensure his legacy lives on.”In addition to the renaming, Howard and Walt Disney Co.’s executive chairman Bob Iger will team up to organise a fundraiser for the construction of a building that will house the college, the Cathy Hughes School of Communications, its TV station WHUT and its radio station WHUR 96.3 FM. It isn’t confirmed when construction will commence, but Frederick said the administration is “moving with haste”.Boseman’s family responded to the news through the actor’s Instagram.“Chad, you exemplify Howard’s core values of excellence, leadership, service, and truth.
