The noted historian, John Hope Franklin, died yesterday at the age of
94. His most important book was probably [1]From Slavery to Freedom: A
History of African Americans, though he authored many others. Walter
Dellinger has a [2]rememberance of Franklin in the Washington Post. It
begins:
John Hope Franklin, who died yesterday at 94, was one of the most
remarkable Americans of the 20th century. He was the master of the
great American story of that century, the story of race. John Hope
wrote it, he taught it, and he lived it.
