Legend.
Phenomenon.
Human Wonder.
Once in a lifetime talent.
All of these describe Ms. Cicely Tyson, who has passed away at the age of 96.
There are just some people whose iconic footprint defines and shapes your life in profound ways difficult 2 explain or express. If the anthem of my childhood, "Black is Beautiful" was a person, she would be #CicelyTyson. I hold my head higher and my back straighter b/c she lived. pic.twitter.com/ZQHspnv1TN

I am not heartbroken.
Just sad.
She has been a wonder.
Cicely Tyson was more than what some of ya'll saw on HTGAWM. If that's all you do know of her…go and buy her memoir… JUST AS I AM. Google her, learn her history, learn about her legendery career. She was much more than "annalise mama"!!!https://t.co/hnncKJLkWp

The first time I remember Cicely Tyson was ‘The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.’
I have watched so many of her performances over the years. Everything I watched, she was always the standout in the piece, even if the piece itself wasn’t the highest of quality.
Cicely Tyson, IMO, could not give a bad performance. Just impossible.
Her voice. Her very being on stage was searing.
She touched your soul.
She lived her life her way. She got her roses while still alive. She knows that she was adored and worshipped.
And, her work. Her craftmanship. Will live on.
Rest In Power, Ms. Tyson.
Thank you, for sharing your talent with the world.
"No one is going to bother to put you down, if you are not a threat to them." Wise words from the legend herself. We will never forget Cicely Tyson. ✨ #BETRemembers pic.twitter.com/K6drPGgRFK

I'm devastated. My heart is just broken. I loved you so much!! You were everything to me! You made me feel loved and seen and valued in a world where there is still a cloak of invisibility for us dark chocolate girls. You gave me permission to dream… https://t.co/7V7AFZtFLa pic.twitter.com/l2TLfM4weX

I was sitting at the table working when I got this overwhelming feeling to watch Miss Jane Pittman. I hadn’t seen the movie in years. I didn’t even understand the feeling to turn it on, but I did anyway. Not 12 minutes into the movie my phone rang… cont: https://t.co/Cnwrw6chXg pic.twitter.com/KwogNifCV8

Cicely Tyson was a force on screen and stage. She defined the role of star actor on her terms, and made the arts and America better for it. Her performances were powerful and enchanting. They stuck with you long after the credits ran or the curtain dropped. May she Rest in Peace.

She will be dearly missed
In television she nabbed the first recurring role for an Black woman in a drama series
Emmy- and Tony-winning
The actress was one of 25 Black women honored for their contributions to art, entertainment and civil rights

I saw Ms. Tyson once when she was the keynote speaker at a women’s conference in San Diego. This was sometime in the early 1990’s if I’m not mistaken.
She had big hair, natural, and she was quite beautiful. Good speaker too.
It was always good to see her doing so well for so long. She really had a distinguished career.
RIP, beautiful lady, and thank you for everything.

Good Morning, All. Rikyrah, your post on Ms Tyson is extraordinary! THANK YOU.
Our Queen is wearing her crown in eternal glory, now.
For me, this statement from Cicely Tyson encapsulates exactly what is at the heart of WHITE RAGE, BIGOTRY, RACISM, against BLACK PEOPLE. And her role on and off stage, highlighted our HUMANITY.
“My God. This man is thinking that we’re not human beings”.
Thank you, Ms. Tyson, for always being a LIGHT in our universe. Cary on, dear good & faithful servant.
