The Measure of a Man
Sidney Poitier shared intimate details about his life that has inspired hundreds of people, men and women alike in his republished book "A Measure of a Man" The first edition was how he made a life for himself in Hollywood. The republished edition shares more details about his humble beginnings before coming to the United States. Mr. Poitier was featured on Oprah Winfrey in an elegant dining set. Dining guests included men and women Mr. Poitier inspired. Oprah shared her inspiring moment when she witnessed, as a child, Mr. Poitier winning an Academy Award for best actor in "Lilies of the Field" - the first black male actor to achieve this honor in 1963. I admire Mr. Poitier for his commitment to his family and the obvious love for his wife. His eyes sparkles every time he speaks about his wife, Joanna Poitier. Captain James Poitier, was a cousin of Mr. Sidney Poitier. I had the pleasure of working as a Girl Friday {part-time clerical support} at the Pedricktown Army Recruiting Station in New Jersey, in the mid 70s, under Captain James Poitier. He was an honorable family man that inspired me to choose my own path in life over accepting a life assignment from any man or woman. Captain Poitier also shard the phonetic annunciation of their family name - por 'teer [two syllables not three]. |
