Love his work, and remember very, very well watching "In the Heat of The Night"
and then "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs"
But damn the media, keeping racism alive and well. 😒 ALL of the media falling over themselves to make sure (pictures of Poitier not obvious or anything) we know, that he was the first black man to win an Oscar......
