Quote of the day by Chadwick Boseman

Chadwick Boseman stated: 'Sometimes you need to get knocked down before you can really figure out what your fight is, and how you need to fight it.'

Boseman recalled being fired from a role after asking for specificity and humanity in writing that contained stereotypical and racist notions.

He delivered the quote during a 2018 keynote speech at Howard University, his alma mater from which he graduated in 2000.

The quote reflects Boseman's perspective on failure as an opportunity to recalibrate and understand one's true goals.
