According to PopSugar, Kevin Boseman, older brother of the dearly departed actor, made his long-awaited return to the dance stage after a seven year absence to headline the 2021 Dance Against Cancer Outside benefit, which took place at New York's Damrosch Park on June 21. The elder Boseman brother performed a piece entitled "A Tribute to Our Heroes," which was dedicated to everybody working to fight cancer, as well as those who have been lost to the illness along the way. Kevin himself has been in remission for over two years, as of October 2020. Aside from his own homecoming, the "Black Panther" star's brother viewed the performance as a way to honor his memory, noting, "He was a hero to me because he was courageously fearful."

As Kevin explained, "I know many people saw him as a hero. I certainly did, but not because of his work as an actor or his battle with cancer. Although anyone fighting cancer is a hero." As the talented dancer explained, "I can't recall a time when he didn't stand up to his fears and proclaim victory over them." It's been incredibly difficult for Kevin to celebrate his own clean bill of health while simultaneously mourning the loss of his beloved sibling. Still, Kevin hopes his performance inspired both those battling the devastating illness, and those supporting them, to keep fighting just as his little brother always did.
