Today's quote comes from Sidney Poitier, who was the first African American to Oscar for Best Actor ("Lillies of the Field" in 1963).
Poitier recently turned 81 (on Feb. 20). He is also a prostate cancer survivor, and he is fluent in Russian.
A remake of his classic film "A Raisin in the Sun," which was based on a sterling play, airs tonight on ABC.
He is also a lifetime Oscar recipient.
Here is the quote:
"I was the only Black person on the set. It was unusual for me to be in a circumstance in which every move I made was tantamount to representing 18 million people."
