Ruby Dee era una forza formidabile sullo schermo, nel movimento per i diritti civili

Ruby Dee, the award-winning actress whose seven-decade career included triumphs on stage and screen, è morto. She was 91.

Dee died peacefully Wednesday at her New Rochelle, New York, casa, according to her representative, Michael Livingston.

Dee — often with her late husband, Ossie Davis — was a formidable force in both the performing arts community and the civil rights movement. The couple were master and mistress of ceremonies at the 1963 Marcia su Washington, and she was friends with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Dee received the Frederick Douglass Award in 1970 from the New York Urban League.
