Sidney Poitier was the first Black man to win an Oscar. He acted for over 60 years and helped many other Black actors by showing what they could do.
When he died on January 6 at the age of 94, many people praised him. Barack Obama, a former President, said Sidney was an amazing talent who showed dignity and grace.
Another actor, Denzel Washington, said it was an honor to know Sidney. He called him a kind person who helped open doors for all of them when those doors had been shut for a long time.
