A Community Remembers John Hope Franklin

(03/26/09 7:00am)

"He gave the commencement address when he was over 90 years old-probably the best commencement address I've ever heard. He was just like that, and there was a kind of strength, conscientiousness, lucidity about challenges in American life and a love of this place. He brought a powerful example of personal conscientiousness. When you were in the presence of John Hope Franklin, your expectations of your behavior and yourself were raised."
