The world is still recovering from the death of the Black Panther.  

Chadwick Boseman passed away on Friday after a fight against colon cancer.  

And now, there's a petition on Change.org to put up a statue of Boseman in his hometown of Anderson, South Carolina. 

The backers say they want it to replace a Confederate war statue in the town square.  That statue has been standing since 1902.  

So far, that petition has more than 12 thousand signatures.
