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.

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.
