Essence Magazine hosts its third annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon, honoring the timeless, classic and inimitable Cicely Tyson.
The Black Box Office names Queen Latifah, Zoe Saldana, Gabourey Sidibe and Mary J. Blige as a few of the glowing honorees alongside Tyson, who will receive the Legend Award.
Essence continues to pack esteem in its major league award, having honored Ruby Dee and Diahann Carroll in 2008 and 2009.
The Luncheon is set to take place the same week as the Oscars.
POST SCRIPT
Did you know Cicely Tyson founded her own school in 1995??? Now that's the business. The Cicely Tyson School of Performing Arts is located in East Orange, NJ. Gee, I wonder if these kids will do the Heisman to Vanity Fair and anybody else who thought they were the final word in acknowledging greatness? Hmmm.
