The municipality is in talks with various artists about the tribute to the late Black Panther star. The artwork contains a statue and a mural and / or other art elements.
Fans had recently started a petition for a statue of Boseman instead of a grand statue of a Confederate soldier. Boseman will probably not get that place in the middle of the square in front of the town hall, because the mayor cannot simply replace the statue.
The actor died on Friday at the age of 43 from colon cancer. The news came unexpectedly because Boseman, who had been ill for several years, had never made his diagnosis public.
