Cicely Tyson is a legend in her own right, and will be receiving a well-deserved award.

The actress, 93, was announced as one of the recipients of this year’s honorary Oscars by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Tyson began her career as a model and a theater actress with her first big screen role in 1968’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, starring actor Alan Arkin. Four years later, in 1972, the star received an Academy Award nomination for her leading performance in Sounder.

Mary Glass, Chair/CEO/CVO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC said, 

"Ms. Cicely is the quintessential craft-lady in acting from "gut-soul-eloquence".  "We say, it is about time."  

"My favorite movie by Ms. Cicely is SOUNDER."

" The 2 1/2-minute scene, When she sees/recognizes Nathan coming/walking down the dirt road toward their house - she takes off in barefoot running as fast as possible to her MAN, the father of her children, her husband.  I mean you can feel the soul and power of her energy that infects daughter, the oldest son, youngest son AND Nathan.  Truly powerful."

Milwaukeeans at the Neighborhood level requires healing economically, financially, healthcare, socially, and through the SPIRIT of well-being.

Releasement on a regular basis through the arts is a missing link in Milwaukee for African American, other People of Color, the Work Challenged and Caucasian that make up the CORE CONSTITUENTS - OWNERS OF THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE.
