John Hope Franklin's "Grownup Reading List" →

From Duke University Libraries…

The preeminent historian, scholar and author John Hope Franklin (January 2, 1915 – March 25, 2009) assembled an annotated list of must-reads for people with a serious interest in African American history.

I would also add Dr. Franklin’s From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans (first published in 1947). This book is a staple for African American studies classes.

So cool.
