Cicely Tyson made a statement every time she stepped on screen. The daughter of immigrants from the Caribbean island of Nevis, she spent seven decades refusing to let Hollywood define what a Black woman's story could look like. A Caribbean daughter. An American icon.💙 #CaribbeanAmericanHeritageMonth
