Yes he was. I remember, as a kid, first seeing him in the movie "A Raisin In The Sun", a great movie. May he RIP.
THEY CALL ME MR. TIBBS! Great actor. RIP.
Exactly what I was going to post, one of the most underrated movie lines ever!
In the Heat of the Night, he and Rod Steiger were great in that movie.
He had so many great movies. One of my favorites was The Defiant Ones.
Mr. Poitier aways handled himself with grace and class. There are very few individuals you can say that about.

Iconic. If the word applies to anyone, it applies to him.
One of the first movies I can ever remember seeing, 1965 A Patch of Blue, I was 6 and if you don't know the movie it was about a blind white woman who falls in love with Poitier, fairly uncharted waters for a movie in the mid 60's in the south. I had probably only met one black person in my life, but to tell you the truth I didn't see anything uncommon about the movie. It just goes to show that a child isn't born with any racial feelings at all. He really was a ground breaker in many ways.
One of my favorite movies staring Sidney Poitier was To Sir With Love.
Another good one was Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, featuring the great Spencer Tracey and Katharine Hepburn, along with Poitier. Tracey died shortly after the movie was made.
One of my All-Time Favorites...RIP. May The Good LORD Bess and Keep...
