Sir Sidney L. Poitier, Who Shattered Thousands of Glass Ceilings for African American Thespians, Returned to the Great Unknown, at the age of 94

Lapacazo Sandoval, Contributing WriterJanuary 13, 2022

I am humbled by the legacy that Sidney Poitier has left. Imagine the sheer will that is required to shatter all of the obstacles that were tossed into his path. The hatred of African Americans in the United States of America has never left this stolen land, but in the ’20s, achieving any kind of equality seemed as distant as touching the stars.

‘Harriet’ My Choice for Movie of the Year

California Senator Rod Wright (Ret)December 12, 2019

“Harriet” the movie is a portrayal, based on the life of the legendary African American heroine. It is not, nor is it intended to be a documentary of her remarkable life. At times during the movie historical facts are noted on the screen. Harriet Tubman lived for 91 years, this movie covers about 8 to 10 years of her life. So we know there is much more to her life that we don’t see in the movie. I pray the movie raises interest in Harriet Tubman, particularly among young people, many of whom had unfortunately never heard of Harriet Tubman.
