"We need to keep an eye on the other human experiences to give ourselves the fullness and breadth of our own humanity. Our humanity is served back to us through the eyes of those who have diminished us. And they serve back to us a view of ourselves that is incomplete. If we don’t look to the bigger picture, our view will narrow to that which is constantly fed to us." — #SidneyPoitier #BlackHistory

Rudy Dee & Sidney Poitier appeared in 5 films together between 1950 (No Way Out) and 1972 (Buck and The Preacher). Some people even mistakenly believed that they were married when in fact she was married to Ossie Davis (with whom she appeared in 9 films!) from 1948 until 2005.

3 things about Norman Jewison’s IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT [1967]
1. Fern root on the accelerator.
2. “Oh, now, don’t get smart, black boy. I don’t need it. No pity, thank you. No thank you!”

A few years back a friend of mine introduced me to this 1971 film starring Sidney Poitier about a mysterious man who arrives in his hometown in Alabama after his sister dies, and the effect his return has on the racially and socially tense community. It’s now in my Top 10! “Brother John” is a stellar production and an outstanding artistic document. Available to stream on AppleTV+ and Amazon Prime. #BlackHistoryMonth #blackhistory #history #BlackCinema #movies #SidneyPoitier #brotherjohn

An unsung #film I recently discovered for myself is Buck and The Preacher. Directed by #SidneyPoitier and starring him and #HarryBelafonte , it is a brilliant deconstruction of the #western - it takes about 20 minutes to get off the ground, but once it does, damn. It is a critique of the genre similar to the one #JamesBaldwin posits in #TheDevilFindsWork - #westerns #cinemastudies #LitStudies #filmstudies @litstudies
