In each generation, there are stars that define a particular era and are a representative of that culture. From a cinematic perspective, African American stars of the silver screen have always been a source of pride, both for the respective portion of the Diaspora that birthed them, and the greater black race as a whole.
The archetype of black cinematic masculinity and style was Sidney Poitier. His musical and television counterpart was Nat King Cole.
The socio-economic climate of America at the time molded each generation of sensibilities and style. From Jim Brown and Fred Williamson, through Billy Dee Williams and James Earl Jones to Denzel Washington, each actor, whether or not they were recognized by the mainstream, were held in high regard because of the manner in which they represented themselves within their respective mediums. It was important due to the static nature of everyday black reality in America.
As is often the case with any art form, the appreciative audience member will begin to self-identify with the subject matter in some way. In each generation, there are those who play signature roles that define the times that spawned them.
42 – Official Trailer 2 [HD]
http://www.42movie.com http://www.facebook.com/42movie In theaters April 12th. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are teaming up with director Brian Helgeland for “42,” the powerful story of Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier when he joined the roster of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Though it is often an exercise in futility to pick the defining stars in a constellation that has yet to be fully realized, Chadwick Bosemans star is ascending with the proper trajectory. Within his various onscreen incarnations, Bosemans roles have exemplified attributes that exude pride, nobility, intelligence, athleticism and morality. Like valued gems cast among swine, the greater societys assault on these sensibilities via the very poisonous ether fouls the American air.
In such an environment, our avatars become that much more important.
For Boseman, his trek has been long and arduous. From a soap opera appearance in 2003 to his first recurring role in Lincoln Heights in 2008, his stars trajectory has been of notice to many. Though not a perfect actor, he has grown in ability and diversity over the course of his 15-year career.
His first lead role was in the Mischa Webley-directed vehicle, The Kill Hole. With his starring role in the Jackie Robinson biopic 42, the mainstream began to see his brilliance as well.

From Draft Day through my personal favorite Get on Up, where he starred in the leading role as the incomparable musical genius and dynamo James Brown, Bosewick has manifested the past, present and future of the funk. He has shown a great ability to bring characters of a particular negritude to life as if breathing into a a lump of red Carolina clay to animate the inanimate.
With his role as TChalla in Captain America: Civil War, Boseman brought a beloved piece of black nerd lore to life in a brilliant moment of perfection as far as comic book inspired, big screen adaptations are concerned.
