Sidney Poitier, the actor and enduring inspiration who transformed how Black people were portrayed on screen, became the first Black actor to win an Academy Award for best lead performance and the first to be a top box-office draw, has died. He was 94.http://apne.ws/QQ1178V

Poitier's many honors included a special Academy Award in 2002, when Black performers won both best acting awards. “I’ll always be following in your footsteps," said one of the winners, Denzel Washington. "There’s nothing I would rather do, sir."http://apne.ws/aQQkOBf

Even I, as a child then, recognized the power and elegance of these two early films of Sidney Poitier!
