Narrator:
0:02 [Applause]
0:05 in the last decade hollywood has
0:07 witnessed the emergence of a few black
0:09 stars who attract large audiences
0:11 black and white alike it is possible for
0:14 an important star like sydney poitier to
0:17 be seen as an actor
0:18 rather than as a black actor
Sidney Poitier:
0:22 you're implying that there was uh
0:24 something wrong by not by my not being
0:26 nominated
0:26 why
Journalist:
there seems to be a lot of talk in
0:28 the industry apparently no one has
0:30 really heard from you what are your
0:31 feelings about that
Sidney Poitier:
0:32 i was rather delighted not to have to
0:34 sit in that auditorium tonight and wind
0:36 up one of the four losers
Narrator:
0:38 outside of hollywood it's a different
0:40 matter sidney poitier's professional
0:42 work is too often forgotten
0:44 the questions are too sharply focused he
0:46 is simply black
0:48 mr poitier is not one to let this goal
0:51 unchallenged
how close has my
0:53 association been in the past with dr
0:55 king for some years now i've worked
0:58 raising funds for dr king because
1:01 i believe
1:05 still very strongly
1:08 in his non-violent philosophy
Journalist:
1:12 what do you feel rap brown's purpose is
1:15 now
Sidney Poitier:
i figured that question would come
1:17 i am not familiar with all of mr brown's
1:21 methods
1:22 except mr brown suggests violence while
1:26 i am as
1:27 by definition in opposition to violence
1:30 particularly violence for violence sake
Journalist:
1:33 do you think urban rights have affected
1:34 you
Sidney Poitier:
though i would say that the urban
1:37 riots have had effects in
1:39 every corner of the country and in every
1:43 arena of life
Journalist:
Are you feeling creative?
1:45 uh i would like to ask you a question
1:50 why is it that you guys are hounds for
1:53 bad news
1:54 why is it that uh you know
1:58 it seems to me that at this moment this
2:00 day you could ask me many questions
2:02 about many positive and wonderful things
2:04 that are happening in this country
2:07 but we gather here to pay court
2:10 to sensationalism we gather here to pay
2:14 court
2:15 to negativism you guys have a job to do
2:22 uh i'm a relatively intelligent man
2:25 there are many aspects to my personality
2:27 that you can explore
2:29 i think uh very constructively
2:33 but you sit here and ask me such
2:35 one-dimensional questions
2:37 about a very tiny area
2:40 of our lives you ask me questions that
2:43 fall continually within
2:45 the negroness of my life you ask me
2:48 questions that pertain
2:49 to the narrow scope of the summer riots
2:54 i am artist man
2:59 american contemporary
3:02 i am an awful lot of things so i wish
3:05 you would uh
3:07 pay me the respect do
3:10 and not simply ask me about those things
Now playing
