That’s sad. The Lilies of the Field is one of my favorite movies. As well as Sneakers.

My mom thought Sidney was just totally da bomb in Lilies of the Field.
I didn't really understand at the time.

the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor for the 1963 film Watching these awards spectacles today you would think that a Black person never won an award or nominated for one..

An enormous fan of his.
The 1967 troika of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, To Sir, With Love and In The Heat Of The Night were fantastic roles and great Civil Rights examples of the period.
He deserves a LOT more credit for pushing racial equality than he gets. Each of those three roles were classic conservative roles.

I have long assumed he was already dead. I’m sorry for his passing.

Each of those three roles were classic conservative roles.He deserves credit for his great talent and the recognition of his talent. He's someone other Blacks should look up to and understand that he was recognized for his talent, not his color.

I sincerely enjoyed his acting.
It’s good he had so many years.

man with incredible charisma or “presence”. There will be much mourning in the Bahamas where he is a huge hero.

He won the Best Actor award because he was simply THE BEST ACTOR of all that year. Not because he was the “Best black actor.”
Not like today’s black whiners.

Relax, he didn’t Burn, Loot, Murder. He was a positive force.
