His talent and success, really paved the way for future African Americans to make movies and tv shows. Some called him an Uncle Tom, because his characters were often seen as more white. It is always difficult to be the first, to succeed, where others have been unable to do. Look at Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. You had a black highly educated and successful man, who has fallen in love with a white woman and wants to marry her. Ok, compared to today's shows, it is very diffetent, but for its time it was daring and progressive. He also achieved great primary roles and never reduced himself to stereotypes. I find that amazing. For that time in history.

Sadly, Sidney Poitier passed away on, 01/06/2022. Furthermore, this answers only about 1/8th of his life. In 1976, he married Joanna Simkus and they had two more daughters. Additionally, in my opinion, he depicted the epitome of a great actor and a great human being. The Bahamians people, the world, and the Arts lost a man of Grace & Dignity on January 6, 2022.
