Our generation, and all generations to come, really HAVE NO IDEA what Ms. Nichelle Nichols, Mr. Bill Russell, Ms. Mary Alice, Mr. Sidney Poitier, Mr. Sammy Davis Jr., Mr. Muhammad Ali, Ms. Sarah Vaughan, Ms. Ella Fitzgerald, our parents, grandparents, and generations before them had to endure - just to SURVIVE! Now once again, we are reminded and called to celebrate the life & legacy of two more giants who have joined the choir of our esteemed ancestors! Thank you, Mr. Bill Russell & Ms. Nichols for showing us a more excellent way!!! Rest In Peace... CBV 📸: Discogs, Trinity Mirror/Mirrorpix/Alamy, Shout! Studios, Nathaniel S.
