2020 Hall of Fame: Cicely Tyson

[@luisgonzalezramirez5112]

She just speaks regal without a word spoken, her respect is demanded without being asked. She is a queen.

[@ralphbryant8178]

She’s the perfect example.

[@fashizzlemanizzle4808]

Yep. She just died. And that death is a reminder of no matter how regal or how much respect is demanded.. you still die one day. And you begin at that point on, to become... no longer an active member of society... but a further and further distant memory of someone who once was... but now, isn’t anymore... That. Is why it’s important. Right there. To be kind and to be open and to realize that ALL of humanity is equal, and worthy, and important. From our most selfless and influential and loving and caring and beautiful members of society to our most hated and cruel and despised and damaging of people. Every one has such an impact that we need to pay more attention to what impacts we’re listening to and letting influence us.... not who to promote or who to silence.. because whether we filter them or not, bad ideas and people will be there. We have to learn who’s the right one to let in, and who is not.

She's amazing! Here, at 95, she is lucid, articulate and still looks nice.

[@jon9126]

Devasted at the news of her passing but I truly believe she has really accomplished all that she was placed on this earth to accomplish.

[@not-even-german4892]

96 should not be devastating but thankful😘

[@EntertainmentTadayyyy]

Not a passing but a homecoming.

[@1archengdes111]

@Jon- Yes, that she was placed on this earth to accomplish...AND all that she had the personal desire to accomplish in her life, she did it all graciously and without compromising herself.

[@Therealmoseslupai]

More of a transition than a passing. But yea, I get you.

[@dabsavage3163]

She’s strong here for 96 years old. She can walk without cane and quite fast. Her mind was still very sharp and she looks younger not 96. May she rest in peace. God bless her soul

[@dabsavage3163]

Lots of love from the Philippines
