BREAKING: Cicely Tyson has died
This is devastating.
What a woman.
What grace.
What legacy.
What talent.
What a loss.
I always thought she was one of the most beautiful women. It wasn’t just her looks; it was the life she lived.
Just look into those eyes and you see a trailblazer who had one hell of a story to share. We are better for having witnessed her talent.
Gayle King recently interviewed Cicely Tyson and she asked her, when the time comes, what do you want people to remember about you and she said: “I’ve done my best.” cbsnews.com/video/hollywoo…
Beyond that, she said, “I am amazed every single day I live. What my life became is not what I expected. I had no idea I would touch anybody.” cbsnews.com/video/hollywoo…

Disturbing video shows an Osceola Co. FL. school resource officer body slam a student to the ground. The student appears to be standing with her hands behind her back when the deputy slams her down, her fact hitting cement. She then appears unconscious.
The Osceola sheriffs office said in a statement: the incident took place at Liberty High School in Kissimmee. It appears to have happened between classes in the hallway. The deputy was in the process of trying to stop a fight when he took the student to the ground.

He says he was muzzled.
But he has since found another publisher who will publish his book. So, muzzled?
Simon & Schuster said this of its decision to drop the book: "We did not come to this decision lightly," the publisher said in a statement. "It will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints; at the same time we take seriously our larger public...”
...responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom.”usatoday.com/story/entertai…
