Pioneering historian John Hope Franklin dies at 94
His book was required reading for me as a freshman in college so many years ago. Years later as an old man myself, I ran across him in the aisle of the local supermarket in Durham, NC and was impressed by his quick and friendly smile. I hope humanity can find a suitable replacement for him to live among us.

It’s a respectful memorial to John and somewhere to pay tribute to the family’s fortitude at this difficult time.
