Morgan Freeman Talks 'The Gray House,' Rips Into Black History Month: 'My History Is American History'https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/morgan-freeman-talks-gray-house-183158353.htmlMorgan Freeman isn't a fan of Black History Month.
"I detest it. 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," he tells
Variety.
"My history
is American history. It's the one thing in this world I am interested in, beyond making money, having a good time and getting enough sleep."
Having exec produced Civil War series "The Gray House" alongside
Lori McCreary through Revelations Entertainment, the past is very much on Freeman's mind.
Inspired by true events, the show tells the story of four Southern women a socialite from Virginia Elizabeth Van Lew (Daisy Head), her mother (Mary-Louise Parker), a formerly enslaved Black woman Mary Jane Richards (Amethyst Davis) and a prostitute (Hannah James), who start to spy for the Union. And that's just the beginning.
