Sidney Poitier was ‘the respectable Negro’—polished, composed, non-threatening. A trailblazer, yes—but also a figure white audiences could feel ‘comfortable’ with. He knew that, and he played the part—but there’s a quiet defiance in the way he held that space. He was subversive by simply being excellent.
