He was one of the last major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood Cinema. Poitier was an actor, film director and diplomat who challenged the thinking of our generation and others and led the way to open dialogue between different racial insensitivities. We saw this in Blackboard Jungle, Lilies of the Field, A Raisin in the Sun, To Sir with Love, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and other outstanding films. Join us to remember this outstanding individual and his contributions to the film industry and perhaps our own lives.
Presented by Joseph Ouellette
