wakanda forever
Marvel African kingdom cry
Wakanda forever is a salute and rallying cry from the fictional African nation of Wakanda in Marvel's Black Panther films.
Accompanied by crossing arms over the chest, it expresses solidarity, cultural pride, and connection to Black identity and heritage: The crowd chanted "Wakanda forever" at the memorial.
The phrase gained wider use after the death of actor Chadwick Boseman, who originated the role.
