John Hope Franklin, R.I.P.

Historian John Hope Franklin died Wednesday at age 94. He had a unique perspective on America in the 20th Century, and the silencing of his voice is a great loss.

See a slide show remembrance at TPM.

And via Wonkette, this lovely Charlie Rose interview from 1995.

But then, that ugly knot of American underlings no doubt vie for the intelligence supremacy of the baboon.
