The death of legendary actress Cicely Tyson at age 96 is discussed, with the hosts questioning why she did not receive a large-scale public funeral during the pandemic. Given her close relationship with Tyler Perry, they speculate whether she had received the vaccine prior to her passing. The segment honors Tyson's career as a groundbreaking Black actress and an "icon" of the community.
A clip from the film "Boycott" depicts a confrontation between Bayard Rustin and Martin Luther King Jr. regarding the presence of guns in King's home. Rustin, an open communist and LGBTQ activist, pushed King toward a strict ideology of non-violence. The hosts note that Rustin was posthumously honored by President Obama and Congress, suggesting he is being repositioned as a primary leader of the movement.
