Morgan Freeman Criticizes Black History Month
From the AP:
Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is “ridiculous.” “You’re going to relegate my history to a month?” the 68-year-old actor says in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). “I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history.”
…
Freeman notes there is no “white history month,” and says the only way to get rid of racism is to “stop talking about it.”
The actor says he believes the labels “black” and “white” are an obstacle to beating racism.
“I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man,” Freeman says.
Rosa Mendoza will continue to celebrate it, but she will apparently only teach her students about those with whom she agrees.
By 1976, Negro History Week would morph into Black History Month. For thirty years it has graced the agenda of American schools. It should remain there until the American curriculum incorporates a full balance of perspectives. As a teacher, I will continue celebrating it with one salient difference; I will omit Morgan Freeman as a topic for my lessons.
