For me, the greatest of the “Great Trees” has fallen: Sidney Poitier. My honor to have loved him as a mentor. Friend. Brother. Confidant. Wisdom teacher. The utmost, highest regard and praise for his most magnificent, gracious, eloquent life. I treasured him. I adored him. He had an enormous soul I will forever cherish. Blessings to Joanna and his world of beautiful daughters 🙏🏾

Programming Schedule – Sunday, January 9 on OWN:

Oprah talks to Sidney Poitier, author of “The Measure Of A Man — A Spiritual Memoir,” about his life and career, including his role in one of Oprah’s all-time favorite films, “Lilies of the Field.” During the “Remembering Your Spirit” segment, Sidney Poitier talks about growing up in the Bahamas and how he now connects more deeply with his spirit by remembering that simpler time and honoring his parents, whose values he continues to uphold.

The Oprah Winfrey Show: Dinner of a Lifetime with Sidney Poitier

To Sir, With Love

Sunday, January 9 @ 3:00PM ET/PT

This 1967 feature film is about a novice teacher facing a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks that reflected some of the problems and fears of teens in the 60s. Sidney Poitier gives one of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London’s tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson), and Barbara (Lulu, who also sings the hit title song), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor by breaking his spirit. But Thackeray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating the students as young adults who will soon enter a workforce where they must stand or fall on their own. When offered an engineering job, Thackeray must decide if he wants to stay.

Oprah Winfrey Presents: Legends Who Paved The Way
