Howard University, 1997- University students, led by a young Chad Boseman, protest the collapse of the College of Fine Arts during a multi-day demonstration in the administration building. Years later, Chadwick and other alumni would continue to advocate for reinstatement of the College of Fine Arts. 2018- Chadwick Boseman returns to Howard as Commencement Speaker, and President Wayne A.I. Frederick announces plans to re-establish the College of Fine Arts as and independent college. Just two weeks ago it was announced that the inimitable @phyliciarashad will serve as Dean of the new College of Fine Arts, and today we are pleased to announce that the re-established college will be named in honor of our king. Chad, you exemplify Howard’s core values of excellence, leadership, service, and truth. There is no one more deserving of such an honor. We are so proud of you, we love you, and we miss you every day. Congratulations to all the future students of the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts! Special thanks to @howard1867 @huprez17 @phyliciarashad and to #BobIger @disney for leading fundraising efforts.
