Sidney Poitier was an actor, director, and civil rights icon whose life and work forever reshaped Hollywood and American society.

Poitier, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 94, was more than a leading man.

He was a symbol of grace under pressure, dignity in the face of discrimination, and quiet defiance against a system long closed to people who looked like him.

When he became the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1964 for Lilies of the Field, he didn’t just take home a golden statue he made history.
