In Memory of Cicely Tyson

We are saddened by the death of Cicely Tyson who passed on January 28, 2021, at the age of 96. Tyson was discovered by a fashion editor at Ebony magazine, rising quickly to the top of the modeling industry and in 1957, she began acting in Off-Broadway productions. Her career spanned more than seven decades revolving around the African-American experience on stage, film and television.
