Cicely Tyson, prolific African American actress dies at 96

 MISS JANE PITTMAN. A WOMAN CALLED MOSES. And many more. Actress Cicely Tyson made African Americans remember where they came from. She lived to see her memoir get published this week. A long, incomparable road she traveled. She worked until almost the very end, pouring her gift onto the world like smokey maple syrup. What a journey of which to be proud. Well done, QUEEN CICELY. Dead at the age of 96.
