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.

U SAID A MOUTH FULL

[@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

After 96 years of life on earth, Ms Cicely Tyson you deserve a good nights sleep. You deserved all the beautiful flowers. God was in a great mood when he created Cicely and blessed her with holy water. As she was born to be a mighty woman. Now God has called her home and as she enter the pearly gates of heaven, all the angels will sing her a beautiful song. As Cicely Tyson takes her place in her new home. Thank you for your beauty, power and grace Ms Cicely Tyson. 🙏🏽❤️

I'm disipointed I didn't know the great Cicely Tysons Life, career and legacy she lived. Her story is inspiring and exemplifies it's never to late to mastery what you love to do and inspire the world in doing so. She's isn't that with the Holy Spirit God is the center of her life she knows who she is she is humble and she is loving and she truly lived a full life and our biggest Joy I'm sure is living for God and fulfilling his purpose for her and that's what her Joy comes from that's where her love comes from that's what her talent is a rise from, it's her relationship with God that grew her into this powerful woman who looked at the world from God's lens and not hers and her reality and environment around her at the time that suggests it was impossible. All the awards are fine and beautiful and she takes them very humbly and she is blessed to have been acknowledged but her most proudest accomplishments and honor that she gets is from her heavenly father her relationship with God and him saying I am proud of you my obedient faithful servant.
