My my my!! What a time we had last night. Well they…lol. Although the other Emmy winners were grateful and appreciative, nothing could top the soul stirring response to an award like Sheryl Lee Ralph. The 65-year-old actress tearfully burst into song, belting out a powerful rendition of Dianne Reeves’s “Endangered Species.” It has been 35 years since a Black woman won in the category.
