Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, and the Need to End Black Stereotypes in Hollywood

Subject

Stereotypes; Hollywood; Chadwick Boseman

Description

Reggie, a teenage gang member, was a familiar stereotype—a soap opera fact page lists “useful information” about the character that includes that he “held Anna Devane at knifepoint,” “assisted Luis in robbing Trey Kenyon’s apartment,” and “stole a handgun from Jack’s safe.” Boseman was troubled by this depiction of a teen gang member.
