The idea for the ball originated because I wanted to celebrate HER, and other remarkable Black women who carved a path and built a bridge for me and generations to follow. What a joy to honor her and feel her receive it! I loved her hat so much, she sent it to me afterwards. Cicely decided early on that her work as an actor would be more than a job. She used her career to illuminate the humanity in Black people. The roles she played reflected her values; she never compromised. Her life so fully lived is a testimony to Greatness.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In memory of Cicely Tyson, OWN will present &#8220;OWN Spotlight: Cicely Tyson&#8221; this Saturday, February 6 (10-11PM ET\/PT) featuring a never-before-seen intimate conversation with the legendary actress and Oprah Winfrey.
