(Gmea/ilkfiti) \C0NVENTI0N&VISIT0RS BUREAU ExploreGainesville.org is #TourismStrong WEATHER Chadwick Boseman was remembered as a hometown hero who brought a sense of pride to his native Anderson, South Carolina. The city paid tribute to Boseman in a public memorial on Thursday evening. The actor, who became widely popular through “Black Panther,” was honored after he shockingly died last week at the age of 43 following a private four-year battle with colon cancer. A viewing of “Black Panther” was held at an outdoor amphitheater where people practiced social distancing. Most attendees wore masks, while others — mostly kids — dressed up in Black Panther costumes. Some artwork of Boseman was displayed onstage during the tribute. “He is the epitome of black excellence,” said Deanna Brown-Thomas, the daugh ter of legendary singer James Brown and president of her father’s family foundation. She remembered when Boseman visited her family in Augusta, Georgia, before the actor portrayed her father in the 2014 film “Get on Up.” Boseman was a playwright who acted and directed in theater before playing the Marvel Comics character King T’Challa in “Black Panther,” which became one of the top-gross ing films in history. He also wowed audiences in his portrayal of other Black icons, includ ing Jackie Robinson in “42” and Thurgood Marshall in “Marshall,” and shined in other films such as Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods.” Brown-Thomas joked about how her family teased Boseman for being too tall to play her father. But she said Boseman was perfect for the role, admiring his humility as a high-profile actor. “He wasn’t Hollywood, and that’s what I loved about him,” she said. Anderson mayor Terence Roberts said people around town always knew Boseman would be special. “You know, he was always reading and always trying to get better,” Roberts said. “So from a work ethic point of view, it just doesn’t happen overnight. He showed us that we’ve got to hone our skills and just persevere.” In Anderson, a city of about 28,000 peo ple, “there’s deep sadness and grief, but it has a bounce out of it that is such inspira tion,” city spokeswoman Beth Batson said. That’s because Boseman inspired so many people in the community, she said.

The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first. Find us on these platforms or reach out to our newsroom at news@ gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21 -April 19). You know what you need to do. Sure, you’re scared. It’s pretty simple actually, and though it might take 30 words to say this, it all boils down to three — you’ve got this. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What is the difference between a burden and a crutch? How you use it. The actual item (habit, person) could be the same in either case, but your use of it will make all the difference. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The distractions could get expensive and are best avoided entirely. You have a sense of where you’re sup posed to be, and it’s a pro ductive day so long as you stick to your course. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone loves you. For this person, it’s like you’re there even when you’re not there because your influence is constantly considered. Does knowing this make you feel like you need to be a little more careful with your input? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The cardinal typically lives three years in the wild and can survive for decades in cap tivity. Happily? Scientists do not test for that part. As for you, bright bursts of happiness, over in sec onds, will be remembered for years. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is possible to improve almost anything, and it’s done through the development of your senses. Senses get keener with experience. Awareness opens up with each new experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). There’s a time for pure fun and a time to feel the gravity that keeps us from flying off the face of the planet. Sure, it causes things we don’t like — falls, sagging, tear drops and so much work, and yet, no gravity means no life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Bad manners are often just a lack of training or a differ ence in background. You will not be sorry for display ing tolerance and reserving judgment until you really understand the person and the factors at play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be aware of what you make important with your focus and time. You don’t have to agree to the same reality other people are experiencing. See it differ ently and, like magic, it is different. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People who present differ ently from how the majority of a group is showing up will be met with misunderstand ing, fear or skepticism. Not by you though. You’re fas cinated and will learn more because of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Aquarius has a talent for not only accepting the dif ferences of others but also seeking out diversity wher ever possible — a talent that’s made possible by an overflowing well of that rare and much-needed attitude: tolerance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s something about your life that seems to hinge on having a certain conver sation. Probably, you’ve been avoiding this, but you no longer should. Today is the day to try and have it.
