Miss Cicely Tyson, R.I.P. (1924-2021)


I was nine years old when The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman originally aired. We watched it as a family. 

The scene I vividly remember most was when an elderly Miss Jane took her first sip from a water fountain designated for Whites Only. That courageous act desegregated that fountain!

What a powerful scene. 

What a powerful WOMAN! 

Miss Cicely Tyson, may your compassionate soul rest in eternal peace.
