Pioneering and trailblazing Hollywood icon Cicely Tyson has passed away at 96 years-old.
The two-time Emmy winner was the first Black woman to take a main role in a TV Drama, first Black woman to wear her natural hair on TV, first Black Woman to host 'Saturday Night Love' and the first Black woman to receive an honorary Academy Award.
Here is a clip from her first film 'Carib Gold' in 1956.
May she rest in perfect peace.
