Subject: Obit: John Hope Franklin
Perhaps this has already been posted, but when I just searched, I didn't find it.
Dr. Franklin was a noted historian and civil rights advocate. He worked on Brown vs. Board of Education, and was the author of From Slavery to Freedom. The last several days there have been some wonderful interviews replayed, including one from NPR's story corps with his son.
