Sidney Poitier is the first black man to received an Academy Award for best actor in 1963. His meritorious contributions has earned him the Presidential Medal of freedom which is the United States' highest civilian honor. Also, his lifetime achievement in the theater, politics and philanthropy has earned him the respect among all races and cultures. Therefore, I find that Sidney Poitier is important to black history's month.
