The shocking passage of Chadwick Boseman, known for his trailblazing role as King T’Challa in Marvel’s Black Panther, to Colorectal Cancer prompted Tina Werblin to organize a free event to provide vital Colorectal Cancer (or Colon cancer) awareness to the African-American community and have some entertainment with local blues musician Alvon Johnson. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Black men and women. African-Americans have the highest rates of colorectal cancer in the US according to Cancer.org. T
