Post subject: | RIP John Hope Franklin |
John Hope Franklin passed on to the other side this week. His body of work had spanned nearly 70 yrs. His books are timeless and worth a look. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/25/john.h ... klin.obit/ http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/o ... pitts.html http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kuar/ ... ing.Light/ |

Brother HolaB--Thanks for this heads-up. I especially appreciated the headline from the Seattle Times article. We could all learn from that credo. |

Don't usually post twice in a row but dig this appreciation of this towering figure in American history writing and sociology: www.nytimes.com/2009/03/27/opinion/27fri4.html Please see also in that link the embedded "Related/ Times Topics" for Dr. Franklin's obit. It's hard to overstate Dr. Franklin's importance. |

I once spent a day in 1993 with James Farmer the Civil Rights activist. I'll never forget it. I imagine a day with the now deceased Dr Frankin would have also been equally memorable. I also wish 'modern' people revered great people and history more. |
