Link to the Show / Show NotesMirror to America, part 2 of 2
In this second of two parts, Books of Our Time host Lawrence R. Velvel talks with noted author and history professor Dr. John Hope Franklin about his autobiography, Mirror to America. Dr. Franklin talks about the interdisciplinary center named after him and about his work in redefining understandings of the antebellum and reconstruction South. In his autobiography, Dr. Franklin says he hopes to help people gaze into a mirror that will help us as Americans understand and begin to deal with issues that have fallen far short of the promise that suffuses our nation's history and founding.
