Cicely Tyson, an acting legend for more than 70 years, died on Jan. 28. Her talents helped her to win awards, land stellar roles and be inducted into three difference Halls of Fame.
Born on Dec. 19, 1924, from Caribbean immigrants in Harlem, N.Y., Tyson grew up in a religious atmosphere.
At the age of 17, Tyson had a daughter whose father remains undercover.
In 1942, Tyson married Kenneth Franklin, who later abandoned her after less than eighteen months of marriage. It wasn’t until 1956 when the two were legally divorced.
Tyson worked a typing job as a single mother at the age of 18, until she was discovered by a photographer for Ebony magazine and started a successful career in fashion modeling.

Long overshadowed by the rise of abstract expressionism in the 1950s, magic realismâs reputation is on the way up again. The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia will present the exhibition âExtra Ordinary: Magic, Mystery and Imagination in American Realismâ from February 27 to June 13, 2021, seeking to reexamine how we define magic realism and expand the canon of artists who worked within this category.Â
