This Day in the Arts — February 20 in Film History

Just a word before we get to today’s snippet of history. I am honored to have been asked to do a guest post in Donna Martin’s blog series Writerly Wisdom today. You may read my post about writers and blogging at Donna L. Martin’s On the Write Track. Now to This Day in the Arts: On February 20, 1927, actor Sidney Poitier was born. I confess I find it hard to believe that he is eighty-six years old. I have long admired him as an actor and as an advocate for civil rights. It is a joy to celebrate him today.
