She was on PBS last week or the week before, “How it Feels to be Free”, about Black women artists who also made activism part of their lives.
And in a coincidence, maybe, “Sounder” is on TCM on Sunday at 8pm (I don’t know if that’s eastern, or across the board).

Never ever saw here once not reach into you and grab you with her performance[s]. One of a kind is an under statement, rest in power good human.

On one hand, her passing is a loss to the world. That being said 96 is a helluva run. I’m happy that we had her for so long. She lived her life with exceptional talent, grace and dignity.
