RIP, Ossie

The legendary man known as Ossie Davis has died today. A vetern actor and promoter of civil rights, this man's genius will be sorrowly missed. He is well-known for acting in the Spike Lee joints "Do the Right Thing", "Jungle Fever", and "School Daze". This man has also been married to the same woman, Ruby Dee, for over 50 years. Another famous triumph was his speaking of Malcolm X's eulogy at the funurel (which he also speaks at the end of the Spike Lee film). When so many people of his day were hesitant to promote Malcolm X, Ossie did so publicly, along with all the other important civil rights leaders. This man didn't need oscars.
