Sidney Poitier, the Bahamian-American actor who broke numerous Hollywood barriers in the 1950s and 1960s — most famously in 1964 when he became the first Black man to win the Oscar for best actor — has died, Bahamiannews outletsreported Friday, citing the country’s minister of foreign affairs. He was 94.
Details on the timing and manner of his death were not immediately available.
Over his career, Poitier was repeatedly the “first.” He became the first Black man to win an international film award at the Venice Film Festival in 1957; the first to be nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards in 1958; and, of course, he became the first to win it for “Lilies of the Field.”

We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

To Sir With Love was my favorite because Poitier played the role of a classroom teacher..
