He has also earned his private pilot's license. In 1997, Freeman, together

Freeman has come out publicly against the celebration of Black History Month,
saying that "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American
history." He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it,
and he notes that there is "white history month". Freeman says "I am going
to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me
a black man. |
