RIP Sidney Poitier
 

Bahamian-American Oscar-winning black actor Sidney Poitier, pioneer of Hollywood, paved way for many future black actors, recipient of the KBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) and of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, & Bahamian Ambassador to Japan, has passed to heaven at 94. RIP Sidney, you were a real icon.

Can't talk about the history of American cinema without him.

Hate to admit it, but he's in that category of "folks I thought had already died."
