00:00I spoke to Miss Tyson a few weeks before she died and Miss Tyson was the one who
00:05was the my inspiration to be an actor in a dilapidated building in Central
00:11Falls Rhode Island where I was a bedwetter extreme alcoholic father
00:16domestic violence and somehow she opened a portal for me and made me dream and I
00:23remember one of the things that she said is when she did EastEnders on
00:26television in the 60s she was the first black woman on TV and she got a boatload
00:32of mail every single week from black women saying that she was a disgrace to
00:40them and it's the effects of racism and how we're seeing this black women dark but
00:48the hatred is so deep that we internalize it and we tear each other down and then
00:54I see this and it's like the famous saying right look what God has done
