My wife is Black.  I am White.  Our son, Ivan, born just more than 5 months ago is Biracial.  That means that our 3-person family is exactly half-Black and half-White.

 

As a result,  in honor of Black History Month, our little family decided to put together a small film festival, a list of movies that demonstrate how Black and White can work together cooperatively and for the betterment of all. In other words, it’s a list of Morgan Freeman movies:

 

Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption
