Oprah's Book Club Pick!Sidney Poitier was born in 1927 on a small island in the Bahamas. He began to learn about racism at a young man and when he moved to Miami he learned the hard way. He finally made it to the stage and films. In this new Spiritual Book, Sidney Poitier tells us how he made his way. There is some anger but that is to be expected. He tried to find roles that would portray the black man in a positive light and turned down many roles that did not fit. He did star in "Porgy and Bess' much to his chagrin but he had no choice, his future would have been limited if he did not.
A man to be respected forever for the way he portrayed racial issues is the 1960's and beyond. His work and his legacy are to be admired and his work will be eternal. Sidney Poitier, in his autobiography tells of his struggles, strife, pitfalls, friends, enemies, victories and triumphs. WAY TO GO - MR. POITIER!
