 Nassau, Bahamas - The
Sidney Poitier International Conference and Film Festival will be
held in Nassau, Bahamas

acclaimed actor, director, author and diplomat Sir Sidney Poitier.
Enclosed is the SCHEDULE.

Sidney Poitier, who was born in Miami to Bahamian parents and was
raised in Cat Island and Nassau, turns 83 on February 20, 2010. He

history that excludes him...
