Barrier-breaking Sidney Poitier, 1st Black actor to win Best Actor Oscar, dead at 94

Sidney Poitier, the trailblazing leading man who in the Civil Rights era loomed as large as an inspirational figure as he did a movie star, died Thursday. He was 94.

I was so sorry to hear of his passing.  I've enjoyed so many of his films.  Mr. Poitier, groundbreaker, RIP.

Go watch In the Heat of the Night if you want another example of his on-screen excellence.

Great movie.  Incredible scene, for its time, in the greenhouse.
