To Sir, With Love
While most films focus on a white teacher coming into a predominantly minority classroom and changing the lives of the Black and Hispanic students, To Sir, With Love flipped the script. Sidney Poitier starred in the 1967 film as an optimistic new teacher tasked with teaching white students from the slums of London’s East End. Poitier would reprise his role almost 30 years later in the 1996 sequel, To Sir, With Love II.
