One year after his untimely death, late actor Chadwick Boseman was honoured at Howard University as the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts was established. According to etonline.com, the university announced the news on its Instagram account on Friday.

"Installation at Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts. The initials were placed on the now-official Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts yesterday " With a video of the building, Howard University stated.
The caption further read: "An icon in his own right who has left an immeasurable legacy for the next generation. Thank you, Mr. Boseman." Boseman attended college at Howard University and graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in directing.

News of the renamed building was announced in May, with Boseman's wife, Simone Ledward saying in a statement at the time: "I am extremely pleased that Howard University has chosen to honour my husband in this way and elated that Ms. Rashad has accepted the role as Dean.

"Chad was a very proud Bison, both Howard and Ms. Rashad played integral roles in his journey as an artist. "The re-establishment of the College of Fine Arts brings this part of his story full-circle and ensures that his legacy will continue to inspire young storytellers for years to come." Boseman died at the age of 43 in August last year after a secret four-year battle with colon cancer.
