Michael Imhotep & Prof. Manu Ampim 'The African History Network Show' 6-18-24 & 3-31-24
Morgan Freeman has dismissed the idea of Black History Month, saying: “My history is American history.” He said in a interview with Variety Magazine on June 15th, 2024.
The 87-year-old 'Driving Miss Daisy', 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'Seven' star had previously called the annual event, which is observed throughout February, an “insult”.
In a new interview with Variety, Freeman elaborated on those feelings. “I detest it,” he said. “The mere idea of it. You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right.”
Historian & National Political Commentator, Michael Imhotep, founder of The African History Network, on 6-18-24 responded to these uniformed comments from Morgan Freeman by providing some history regarding 'Black History Month' and its founder, Historian, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Also included is an excerpt of interview with Historian and Professor of Africana Studies at Contra Costa College, Prof. Manu Ampim discussing Dr. Carter G. Woodson's Legacy regarding his research on African History and a critique on the status of the organization that he co-founded Association For the Study of African American Life (ASALH).
