What Jackie Robinson meant to the world of sports, Sidney Poitier meant to the world of film. After being passed the torch by Paul Robeson, Poitier was faced with the dilemma of being Hollywood’s lone Black superstar at a time when the only other African-American at the studio was the shoeshine boy. As a product of his time, he provided an image for Blacks to be proud of during the civil rights movement. However, as times changed, he was vilified by more radical voices for not challenging the status quo. Film historian Charles Woods (The Talking Black Podcast) examines his true legacy in this video essay presented by Reelblack.

Conversation with Special Guests: 8:00 pm CST- 8:40 pm CST

Host: Bart Weiss– Dallas Videofest Director and Producer of KERA Frame of Mind

Guests: Charles Woods, Film Historian and Mike D., Filmmaker
