I have always loved the story that she would tell about how she didn't think she was not getting enough FaceTime on the show and she was considering quitting and Dr Martin Luther King was visiting the studio and he told her that she was an inspiration to all young girls and all minorities because it showed what a person of color could actually be on a show without being a degraded character. I was so saddened to hear of her passing and I have enjoyed everything that she has done, rest in peace!
