John Hope Franklin and Alfred Moss edit a new edition of From Slavery to Freedom in 1986.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are pleased to announce a major addition to the John Hope Franklin Papers.\u00a0 This gift includes over 300 boxes of papers and other materials belonging to late historian and Duke professor John Hope Franklin.<\/p>\n

Franklin is widely credited with transforming the study of American history through his scholarship, while helping to transform American society through his activism. He is best known for his ground-breaking history From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African-Americans<\/em> (1947) and for his leadership on President Clinton\u2019s 1997 National Advisory Board on Race.<\/p>\n

Franklin donated a small collection of his personal papers to Duke in 2003. This large addition, donated by Franklin\u2019s son and daughter-in-law John Whittington Franklin and Karen Roberts Franklin, completes the archive of one of the twentieth century\u2019s most distinguished public scholars.<\/p>\n

After receiving a doctorate from Harvard in 1941, John Hope Franklin taught at St. Augustine\u2019s University, North Carolina Central University, Howard University, Brooklyn College, University of Chicago, and Duke University\u2014breaking many racial barriers along the way. Deeply involved in the Civil Rights movement, he worked with Thurgood Marshall on the Brown v. Board of Education<\/em> case and joined protestors in the march led by Martin Luther King, Jr., from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. He was the recipient of more than 100 honorary degrees, and President Clinton awarded him the Medal of Freedom in 1995. He died in Durham, North Carolina, in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Franklin Papers include a selection of photographs of John Hope Franklin and his family.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The donation of papers includes diaries, correspondence, manuscripts of writings and speeches, awards and honors, extensive research files, photographs, and video recordings. The collection also includes materials that trace the Franklin family\u2019s personal history, including their long involvement with the civil rights struggle in Tulsa, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Two letters from Thurgood Marshall and Terry Sanford from the John Hope Franklin Papers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The papers will be held in the John Hope Franklin Research Center for African and African American History and Culture, part of the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke. \u00a0The papers will open for research after conservation review and archival processing are complete. The opening will be announced on the Rubenstein Library\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Hope Franklin always wanted his papers to have an academic home where they would get into the hands of students and scholars quickly,\u201d noted John W. Franklin.\u00a0 \u201cHe wanted to make sure that they would be used.\u00a0 We found such a home for his papers in the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library of the Duke Libraries with a dedicated staff to care for the collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Duke University Libraries will celebrate the John Hope Franklin papers with a reception on September 14, 2012, at 5:30 p.m. in the Gothic Reading Room of the Rubenstein Library. The event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
