Poitier rose to prominence during the civil rights movement in the U.S., and his roles tended to reflect the struggle’s peaceful, integrationist goals, a conscious choice by Poitier. His characters met hatred with reason and forgiveness. They simmered with repressed anger, but responded to injustice with quiet determination. The message reassured white audiences but exposed him to attacks from Black activists when the movement took a more militant turn in the late 1960s and 1970s.
