"My challenge was to weave into the fabric of American history enough of the presence of blacks so that the story of the United States could be told adequately and fairly."
Mr. Franklin,

He wrote the text for my first African-American studies class. I wish him a peaceful journey.

Yes, he was a remarkable man. Peace to him. Thanks for stopping through.
His was the first history book I read totally devoted to African Americans. Go with God...
May God bless his soul.
I remember being introduced to his work while in college. He was a great man, I pray that we continue to have great minds like his.
Lyre-
Yes, Amen.

Yes, young people everywhere should follow his example -- many of us should do the same. We should nto try to be him, but emulate his dedication and determination to be the best at what he did. God bless him.
