Against the fraught background of the civil rights struggle, Sidney
Poitier emerged as an image of dignity, discipline, and moral authority. In his
characters restrained responses to ignorance and injustice, Poitier
represented racial reconciliation and reciprocal respect. Sharon Willis shows
this Poitier effect to be a function of white wishful thinking about race
relations as she traces it from the civil rights era to our own.
