“When we think of Black History Month, whom do we tend to think of? One person I think of is Morgan Freeman, who ‘detests’ this commemoration, ‘the mere idea of it …. You are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! The whole idea makes my teeth itch …. My history is American history.’ … What events and which achievers might we ponder in addition to Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King, other champions of civil rights, great inventors, scientists, educators, business, artists, even actors like Freeman and Denzel Washington? The list of celebration-worthy black Americans is endless. In a proclamation about Black History Month, the new White House mentions a name that doesn’t always make the list: scholar Thomas Sowell.” (02/14/25)
