John Hope Franklin on African-American History
This exhibit was curated in memory of Dr. John Hope Franklin (1915-2009), renowned historian, author, teacher, and activist. Through the many forms of historical documentation in the collections of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library, the exhibit touched on four periods crucial to understanding the history of African Americans in the United States.
The online exhibit is no longer available, but an archived version can be viewed at the Internet Archive.
