CeCe Winans, Terence Blanchard, and the Cicely L. Tyson Community School of the Performing and Fine Arts Choir perform the gospel hymn "Blessed Assurance" live for Cicely Tyson at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors.
We join in mourning the loss of iconic actress and 2015 Kennedy Center Honors recipient Cicely Tyson, whose nuance and grit blazed a trail for Black women through legendary performances that defied Hollywood's restrictive stereotypes.
The Kennedy Center Honors are given annually to select performing artists for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Our Honors Memories series catches up with Honorees right after the Honors event to hear how they felt during tributes to their artistry, followed by a memorable performance from that night.
