Ruby Dee died this week at the age of 91. She gained fame in the original production of “A Raisin in the Sun”, and much later in her career, at 83, she was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar for her performance in “American Gangster”. She was best known for her work with her husband, Ossie Davis, on both stage and screen and as major figures in the civil rights movement. The Tavis Smiley Show pays tribute to Ruby Dee on Public Radio Interational (PRI) with an excerpt from our annual Black History Month special, “Memories of the Movement,” in which she speaks about her activism with Davis and their deep friendship with Malcolm X. ow.ly/xZt6P
