Sidney Poitier The Long Journey Paperback Book by Carolyn H. Ewers 1969
THE LONG JOURNEY
A hungry rebel, led by chance to the stage, by luck into films, by guts to the top... the per- sonal story of one of
America's finest actors and now director, Academy Award-winning Sidney Poitier.
Born on February 20, 1927, the youngest of eight children, Sidney Poitier made his way from primitive Cat Island in the Bahamas to Hollywood's star-studded heights.
His biography is a fascinating chronicle of a black man making it.
Here is the life story of one of the first super- stars to make the world aware that black is beautiful.
"His strength and power as an actor could be attributed to an amazingly profound and sympathetic understanding of human virtues and weaknesses; to an astonishing lack of prejudice as an artist for one who has encountered so much bigotry."-Richard Brooks, Director
