The Measure of a Man: A Memoir

Poitier's journey: from Cat Island to Hollywood icon.

When you delve into "The Measure Of A Man," you're not just reading another celebrity memoir; you're investing time in the life lessons and profound reflections of Sidney Poitier. His narrative not only paves the historical path of a trailblazer amidst social upheaval but also stirs with a wisdom and integrity that transcends the glitz of show business. This memoir will resonate if you're stirred by stories of resilience and personal morality, all the while providing intimate insights into what it meant to break barriers during times of pervasive racism.

  • Audie Award for Nonfiction, Unabridged (2001)
  • Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album (2001)

This memoir reflects on a life and career during which he has received acclaim for his performances in film as well as helping to break down racial prejudice in America.
