His class, his style, and his grace made Sidney Poitier ("Lillies of the Field," "To Sir With Love") extraordinary among actors, but also a model of social consciousness. Every role he played pushed past the boundaries of what society would allow back then.

The typical U.S. tax refund, which averaged $3,200 in 2022, is often the biggest check a household receives all year. And with inflation still high, some measures show that roughly a third of Americans are counting on their 2023 refund checks to make ends meet.
