Not many people understand the shame a man feels when he migrates to another land and is unable to send money "back home". It amazes me that he was humble enough to share this story. God really magnified him beyond what others thought he could be.
He was my favorite Actor of all time, he opened the door for guys like Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. R.I.P Sidney Poitier, because you were the best!
This is one of the most inspiring interviews I have ever witnessed. What an excellent teaching tool to improve the lives of others. It is life transforming this interview and I thank you very much for posting it.
Sidney Poitier was the original class act. His role in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was amazing. He was handsome charming and eloquent black man and his co-star was a beautiful woman with an irresistible spirit abouy her. He was before Bill Cosby and all these other so called black successful tv actors. This man broke interracial barriers. On screen and off screen
I think all teenagers, from whatever background or people of low self esteem, should watch Sidney’s interviews about his life story. The man has such a gift of survival and everything that makes a person great.
Watched him as “to sir with love”. As a young girl. He was great . I have a lot of respect for him as a professor. Learned education is for all and practiced his paitance. Bless him.
I loved Sidney Poitier, and seeing his 1963 film "Lilies in the Field," was a joy. RIP, Mr. Poitier... you were a great 😃 man, beloved for your activism as well as your acting.
WoW!! This story means so much to me. He is my favourite actor of all time. What he has contributed to society in his movie roles and in his life is really meaningful and productive.
I have always admired people who came from nothing and became something. And the moment I heard his voice I knew right then this man is special. I was just a kid. But I could tell he was a great person. R I P. 💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I have enjoyed every one of your movies. And the messages it had for those who understood.
Definitely an icon whose memories will be forever treasured! Thank you for your contribution to the Arts and Culture!!❤️🙏🏾Rest in Eternal Peace Beautiful Brother!🙏🏾🙏🏾
A truly wonderful actor, activist, and Man, I had a massive crush on Him when I saw To Sir With Love back in the 60s I was 11 and thought he was the most beautiful and powerful man ever! I guess I was right! 🙏🌹👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rip, Mr Sydney Poitier U are Truly humble compassionate wonderful human being, U are one greatest actors of all time. GOD BLESS YOU AND thank you for wonderful movies,
@@eva6279 perhaps I am, whatever a WS is. I just found it highly inappropriate and unchristian to bring in issues of heaven and hell at the passing on of someone. I hope you have a good year though, and that the grace of the Lord be with you always. No offence intended.

I have just learned a sad news that Sidney Poitier was gone in the stars I liked this actor of cinema I hope that French television will pay homage by showing us a film of him because for a few years the French channels do not make any more tribute to American actors by showing us at least the films before he was doing now we no longer have the right to anything I find that lamentable and sad and ashamed I hope that the German channel Arte put us a film by Sidney Poitier I send my sincere condolences to the family🙄

My mother would make me and my brothers watch his movies when they were on. She held Sidney Poitier up as a shining example of what a proud black man looked like. Growing up in 1960’s Deep South Mississippi as a child wasn’t easy. l recall my mother talking about “In The Heat Of The Night”, especially the scene in which Sidney slaps the bigoted white plantation owner Endicott after getting slapped first. Unthinkable that a black man would do that in Mississippi and live to tell it. I didn’t understand! All that changed as l got older and experienced racial discrimination firsthand, had fist fights with whites because of my blackness and saw the movie as an adult. “Mama, I fully understand now.” I now remember telling her once. And she knew l got it! Sidney Poitier demanded respect and got it! I’m a fan for life. What a great black man!!!!! Rest well, Sidney….😔🕊
Why do we talk about people once they die, and not while they're still alive ...maybe he would have loved to see this and see videos about himself....smh

Poitier...Diamond Sir Sidney
Overcame over run destined to win
Walk good Bro Sidney
big Pisces energy
BACK WHEN WATCHING GMA WAS ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
NOW ITS A CIRCUS RING
Sidney was born in Miami.
😘💋❣💞💯
he was best friends with Bill Cosby ???
Why do we talk about people once they die, and not while they're still alive ...maybe he would have loved to see this and see videos about himself....smh
Maybe you're too young , but Black America showed their appreciation for Sidney while he was alive . He was revered and loved .
@@GMANKOOL23 you ain't getting what I'm saying 🤣
@@LouisAguilar813 What the hell are you saying ? 🤔
All stop it folks talked about him quite a bit hes been recognized by lifetime awards a lot as of recent
His need to NEVER have a real 9 to 5 job??
A dishwasher job where he gets three free meals a day. Not bad. He should have slept in the park.
Murdered by a islamic commando !
lucky he aint looting
Ladies & Gentlemen, This IS the Inept level of IGNORANCE. Sad to say, it rises NO further...Pitiful.
I love Sidney Poitier's any stores.❤💛💚🦘.
