Ten-year-old Huey Freeman (Regina Hall) narrates the series. He’s a smart young man who is often the voice of reason, as well as a spokesperson for contemporary Afrocentrism. Yet, he’s always taken to task and mocked by both his grandfather and little brother, since they don’t share the same belief system. Huey always wants to support black causes, but looks down on the way black pop culture is portrayed in media, showing ignorant and excessively extravagant people. His smiles are few and far between.
