The slap as a symbol of domination. In 1957 (Something of Value) Sidney Poitier is slapped. He fumes inside but does nothing about it. In 1967, (In the Heat of the Night), ten years later, Sidney Poitier is slapped and he slaps back. He cannot be dominated anymore! Interesting to watch in the background are the reactions of Rock Hudson in 1957 and Rod Steiger in 1967. | Charles Shemu Joyah

He was still traumatised by the experience of being tailed by Klansmen when visiting North Carolina with Harry Belafonte. | SHOPPE BLACK
