I enjoyed the whole series of Sidney Potter books.
The movies were good too.

He prolly remembers Sidney in front of his home on the yard near the front entrance, standing still, and with a cap on his head holding a lantern.

the trail he blazed extended leaps and bounds beyond his background or profession. He blazed a path for our Nation

Did Poitier get 10% for the big guy. There is a huge difference here. Poitier was a great actor. Biden is a couple of slices short of a ham sandwhich.

Did he call him clean and articulate, with no noticeable Negro dialect?

Dementia Joe can't tell the difference between Corn Pop and Poitier.

Let me guess: ‘I always especially enjoyed two of his movies: ‘ Lillies of the Nile’ and ‘Dirty what do you call it? Twelve. Yeah the Dirty twelve. The way he ran and dropped those M-80s into those round things. Boy that was great.

Sidney Poitier was smart enough to mostly stay out of current social and political wars for the last 30 years.
This, unlike some other big stars from his generation;
i.e. Jane Fonda and Harry Belafonte. Lou Grant was recently ‘granted admission’ into Hades just last summer.

At least it’s better than having Ralph Northam pay tribute to Poitier.

“With unflinching grandeur and poise — his singular warmth, depth, and stature on-screen — Sidney helped open the hearts of millions and changed the way America saw itself,” Biden said in a statement.

Does anybody really believe Biden wrote that himself?

Biden sad because he wanted Poitier to play Corn Pop in his life story.

So Brandon and Sidney were on a first name basis? Best of pals?
