Rip. To be well welcomed in the after life.

When l was a little boy, my mother would make me and my brothers watch his movies when they were on. She’d tell us: - “See there, now that’s how a black man is supposed to act! Like he got some sense! Y’all better remember this!” - l did in time! As a black child growing up in 1960’s Deep South Mississippi, l vividly recall my mother talking about “In The Heat Of The Night” and the scene in which Sidney slaps the bigoted plantation owner after getting slapped first. I didn’t understand it all until I’d personally gone through racial discrimination and fights and saw the movie as an adult. Then l called my mom saying: “Mama, I fully understand now.” She knew what l was talking about. Seeing a man with a 70 year career and NO MAJOR scandals in Hollywood in his life is unheard of! He demanded respect and got it! What a great black man!!!!! Rest well, Sidney….😔🕊

The greatest "Black" actor that ever lived? Black actor? Black? Describing him as an 'actor' -- just an 'actor' -- would've stood-out as respectful and honorable. Your remark is insulting and demeaning.

My parents didn't leave me much but they did instill in me a respect for people of all ethnicity, race and religion. It wasn't taught outright but rather through the music we listened to and the movies we saw. Our record collection contained the music of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, Estelle Waters, Harry Belafonte, Leadbelly, Josh White, Miriam Makeba, Leon Bibb, Odetta, Paul Robeson.....I remember one of the first TV shows I ever saw was Leon Bibb performing and one of the first movies I saw in a theatre was Lilies Of The Field, I was eight. Were my mother alive today she would have shed a tear for Sidney Poitier's passing instead it is I left to shed those tears for a man who brought so much joy and wisdom into the world! Were it not for Sidney Poitier and others overcoming barriers I strongly doubt Barack Obama would have become America's forty-fourth President!

RIP Great Sir - you were, no you ARE simply magnificent.

My hero, my father`s hero, and, if I have kids, he will be my kid`s hero... I am lucky. This man inspired my father to get out of poverty in Bahia, Brazil. Dear Sidney Poitier

RIP Sir Sidney Poitier Son of the Bahamian soil

SUCH AN HONOR TO WITNESS! To be in the presence of the First Black President in the presence of an Actor extraordinaire, Sidney Poitier recognizing and presenting such an award of reward in receipt of such as honor - a perfect setting, action and accolades totally fitting is simply over the top for America!

💞Sidney deserved this he was an amazing being. Enjoy paradise 🦋🌠🦋

I recall that my mother had a huge crush on Sidney Poitier. As a kid, I was too young to understand why, however, when I was old enough to watch his movies, I was rapt by his characters and performances. "In the Heat of the Night" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" made me grapple with race as a Black man in America. I credit Mr. Poitier for clarifying my perspective.

The last US president who could piece two coherent sentences together. When I read this morning that Sir Sidney Poitier had passed on, I remembered this tearing speech. Sidney epitomized decency. I am grateful I named my daaughter after him. Rest in power Sidney.

I'll never forget his story with Leslie Stoll ( sp?) on either Sunday morning or 60 minutes when Sydney told his heartfelt story of the old Jewish waiter who taught Sydney how to read. Sydney's tearful recollection touched us all and don't know how Leslie was able to hold it all together ( although you could see her tearing up too).. I read later that after Sydney became successful he tried to find him but was unsuccessful which is such a shame and must of been one of the true regrets Sydney had throughout his life. I have no doubt that this old man became aware of Sydney's success as he grew as an actor and I hope he knew how much it meant to Sydney... Here we are in troubled times and every time a black life is jeopardized because of the ignorance of others or a Jewish synagogue being attacked and people killed I think back when a simple Jewish man helped a simple black man who then used his " power" and made us all see the giant in what Sydney Poitier became. Color and/or race seems so insignificant compared to what strengthens us through helping others.

I was in high school when this was released. Having grown up in the shadows of mindless racism, this film was joyful and liberating for so many of my white and black classmates.
