Fulbright – John Hope Franklin: Redefining the American Story

February 19, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST

Fulbright Event


Speakers: John W. Franklin & Dr. Nishani Frazier & Dr. Kalenda Eaton

How we write history is often reflective of the viewpoints of the elite few who hold the pen – until the conventional narrative is challenged by inspired individuals. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of celebrated historian, scholar, activist, author, and Fulbright alumnus, Dr. John Hope Franklin. Moderated by African American Studies professor and Fulbright alumna Dr. Kalenda Eaton, we will explore Dr. Franklin’s life, including his pivotal work, “From Slavery to Freedom” (1947), which forever cemented the integral role of Black Americans in U.S. history, through an intimate conversation with our panelists, historian and son of Dr. Franklin, John Whittington Franklin, and Fulbright alumna, American Studies professor, and former personal assistant to Dr. Franklin, Dr. Nishani Frazier.
