Character Profile: Huey Freeman

Huey Freeman is the main character of both the Boondocks comic strip and TV series and leads a crusade against racial injustice whenever he could find it. Originally, he and his brother Riley were growing up in Chicago, but then moved to the suburb of Woodcrest near Baltimore. It is possible that he and Riley lost their parents at an early age.

Huey is often pessimistic and grouchy, seldom if ever smiling and would often call others out on hypocrisy. He would sometimes be the voice of reason, but he'll occasionally be obsessed with a conspiracy theory or two. At numerous points, he would try to talk Riley out of doing something brash, reckless, or dangerous, but more often than not, it would be to no avail. He often tends to be obstinate in both words and actions, and is a complete cynic. More often than not, that cynicism would be justified.

Huey also likes the Star Wars series as well as Elton John.
