Thank you, @nancybriti! It was quite surprising to study Sidney Poitier's life and discover the constraints the color of his skin and the times imposed on his career. I was reading that at times he struggled with the fact that he was type-cast and would have wanted other roles, other than the nice, outstanding, decent black guy. Yet, he knew his work was important for the rest of his community, he was paving the way for others to succeed in the film industry. If it weren't for him, I doubt it we would have lived to see a movie where Morgan Freeman is allowed to play God.
