The Infamous Morgan Freeman!!

Morgan Freeman is among the many prestigious actors known to man. He is an Academy Award and Golden Globe award- winning actor, producer, and director. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actor's. Over the years he became one of Hollywood's most popular and respected actor. He received Oscar nominations for films such as Street Smarts, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption, and the Million Dollar Baby. In the television production African American Lives, Morgan Freeman speaks on his ancestry.
His great grandparents were forced to move from North Carolina to Mississippi between the 1790s and 1860s to create the cotton kingdom. His close family, including his mother and grandmother, both taught at the Mary Holmes School in Mississippi. The Mary Holmes School was known for the dedication to the education of Black Women. His grandmother was also known for being interviewed by the Works Progress Administration.
