Tyler Perry, Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and Cece Winans deliver emotional tribute to Cicely Tyson during the 'Kennedy Center Honors'...
Last night, CBS aired the Kennedy Center Honors, where stars gathered to pay homage to some of the legends of the stage and screen.
Cicely Tyson, Seiji Ozawa, Rita Moreno, Carole King and George Lucas received honors during what many describe as one of TV’s classiest broadcasts, taped at the prestigious Kennedy Center earlier this month.
Arguably the most touching moment of the star-studded tribute for 91-year-old Tyson.
