During a segment in the Golden Globes, several kids were asked by TikTok star La'Ron Hines who Chadwick Boseman is, and fans on Twitter were touched by their sweet responses.
Hines was doing a skit where he asked children various questions about the Golden Globes, awards shows, and various TV shows.
Their answers, in general, brought a lot of laughter, with one kid telling Hines that celebrities sit on the couch and brush their teeth during awards shows.
Hines then asked the kids who Chadwick Boseman is, and the laughter was quickly replaced with a lot of emotion from fans watching the show.
All of the kids immediately knew exactly who Boseman was, telling Hines that he was the Marvel superhero Black Panther.
