Summary: Not just for kids
Comment: Coretta Scott King's Line of books of famous black profiles is traditionally written for the audience of adolescents, yet benefitial to older teens and adults as an introduction. Sidney Poitier's biography is no exception. The book opens with the humble man's modest beginnings as a West Indian export. His bittersweet struggle to curve his accent by immitating radio disc jockeys provides the drama that movies are made of. While the sibling-type rivalry between he and Harry Belfonte are bypassed in this forum, this reader encourages further reading on the actor. In light of scarse availablity of 1970's Poitier biographies, this l980's work becomes even more important in preserving a wonderful "Journey"(reference to the out of print Poitier biography "Long Journey").
