---Dr. John Hope Franklin on Obama---
Please view a short video of Dr. John Hope Franklin reacting to the news
of
Sen. Obama's nomination. As you may know, at age 93, Dr. Franklin is a
history professor emeritus at Duke and the author of the seminal book,
"From
Slavery To Freedom",  written 65 years ago. He says he never thought he'd
see an African American run for president in his lifetime and calls Sen.
Obama's nomination "amazing." He remembers how his mother encouraged him
as
a youngster to tell people he wanted to become "the first Negro president
of
the United States." He says the phrase then seemed "so far-fetched, so
incredible that we used to really have fun just saying it." Please take a
look at the John Hope Franklin video found at :

Dr. Franklin is a hero of mine.
Jacqui
