R.I.P. John Hope Franklin

Posted on March 26, 2009 by TayariJones

If this blog had a flag, it would be at half-mast. John Hope Franklin has passed away at age 94. I am sure there will be many tributes in the morning and I will do a link round-up. Below, I am re-posting an entry I wrote a couple of years ago when my friend, Rocky, travelled 800 miles just to get of glimpse of the great man.
God bless you, Dr. Franklin. You did your work, now take your rest.
