Cicely Tyson didn't just perform — she made a statement every time she stepped on screen.

The daughter of immigrants from the Caribbean island of Nevis, she spent seven decades refusing to let Hollywood define what a Black woman's story could look like. Every role was intentional. Every choice was deliberate. And every performance reminded the world of something it needed to see.

A Caribbean daughter. An American icon. A standard that still stands. 💙

Pope Leo XIV said that a "truly just society" recognizes the dignity of every human life, as he made calls for peace in a wide-ranging address to the Spanish parliament on Monday.

"The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization," he said. "Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence."

Leo added that "when this certainty is obscured" and the law fails to serve and protect everyone, society's most vulnerable people "are the first victims."

"For this reason, the moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to accompany, protect and love those lives that are most fragile," he said.

During the speech, the first by a pope to Spain's parliament, the pontiff urged global leaders to help migrants, calling on them to create "safe and legal pathways."

Leo also repeated his call for using dialogue instead of weapons to resolve disputes, saying "peace demands diplomatic courage." His comments came hours after Israel and Iran traded fire, threatening to upend peace efforts in the Middle East.

His address, which received a seven-minute standing ovation from Spanish lawmakers, was part of Leo's ongoing weeklong visit to Spain that included visits with migrants and victims of sexual abuse.
