This may not mean much to many of you, but this man was a giant in history and a true pioneer for African Americans and other minorities in higher education.

I have much respect for anyone who goes against the idiocrasies of mankind such as slavery or racism,I'll toast for him tomorrow night with my friends.

Reading about Dr. Franklin really makes me want to crank it up, and finish my book! I know I'll never write twenty like him, but I would like to finish at least two before I retire.
