We're all on a quest to discover ourselves, internalizing what we witness through experimenting, learning, and reflecting as we go along. To find real freedom, we must enter our interior world's gates.
One person who mastered the ability to self-reflect and operate from a place of authenticity is Sidney Poitier. The legendary Bahamian American actor, director, and producer broke the color barrier in the U.S. motion-picture industry by becoming the first African American to win an
Academy Award for Best Actor in 1964 for Lilies of the Field.
He came to defy the odds against him thanks not only to his extraordinary acting talent but also to his ability to successfully cultivate an inner world that sustained him during the trials and tribulations he faced during his long career in Hollywood.
To discuss the life of this pioneer in entertainment and the wisdom we can glean from his life when it comes to cultivating a rich interiority that can serve us, I invited Aram Goudsouzian.
Aram is the Bizot Family Professor of History at the University of Memphis, where he teaches courses on the civil rights movement, the modern United States, and the history of American sports, as well as survey courses on African American History. He has written several books in his area of expertise, including a biography of Sidney Poitier.
