Críticas
Praise for John Hope Franklin: "A pioneer scholar; a splendid humanist and a shining model to generations of students, scholars, and activists." --David Levering Lewis, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, 1994 Praise for "From Slavery to Freedom: " "My fondest dream would be to create a work of scholarship in the field of African American literature as germinal, as salient, as compelling, and as timeless as" From Slavery to Freedom." "--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, Harvard University. Praise for "Mirror to America: """"John Hope Franklin is a true role model. He embodies the native optimism, i.e., that one can go from slavery to freedom, from ignorance to intelligence, can experience cruelty, yet manifest kindness. In Mirror to America, each citizen can see herself and himself, reflected in the life of this great American." --Maya Angelou """"Mirror to America: The Autobiography of John Hope Franklin" is an astonishing beautiful, deeply intelligent record of an extraordinary life. Required reading lest we forget what is possible in a race-based society." --Toni Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature """With his remarkable sense of humanity, renowned historian John Hope Franklin shares his life journey - an odyssey marked by scholarship, public service, and his passionate commitment to improve the condition of African Americans and their relations with their fellow citizens. Through candid stories of Franklin's relentless pursuit of equality," Mirror to America" calls upon all Americans to look at our nation's past so that we may destroy the color line that continues to divide our country, and progress together into the future." --President William Jefferson Clinton "This is the most important autobiography of the year! John Hope Franklin is a national treasure. "Mirror to America" is cause for a national celebration. For me, and countless others, Dr. Franklin is a mentor and role-model without peer, a man whose clear-eyed look into our past improved America's future. "Mirror to America" will lift the spirit and steel our resolve for the work ahead." --Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Senior Manager and Director Lazard LTD and author of "Vernon Can Read""""""John Hope Franklin's story is a triumphant one, at once a chronicle of America's progress in civil rights over the past ninety years and a stirring reminder of the determination still needed to confront the country's remaining barriers to racial equality. He has inspired his students for decades; now, with Mirror to America, he offers inspiration to us all." ---David N. Dinkins, 106th Mayor, City of New York "John Hope Franklin's "Mirror to America" is a singular document, a great historian's autobiography that will serve as an indispensable history of our times. Read and reflect, indeed!" --David Levering Lewis, Pulizer Prize winner, Julius Silver University Professor and Professor of History, NYU
Reseña del editor
John Hope Franklin lived through America's defining twentieth century transformation, the dismantling of legally protected racial segregation. A renowned scholar, he has explored that formation in its myriad aspects, notably in his 3.5 million bestseller, "From Slavery to Freedom". And he experienced it first hand. Born in 1915, he was evicted from whites-only train cars confined to segregated schools, threatened - once with lynching - and consistently faced with racism's denigration of his humanity. And yet he managed to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard; become first black historian to assume a full professorship at a white institution; reshape the way African American history is understood and taught; and personally challenge the racism he chronicled. From his effort in 1934 to force President Franklin Roosevelt to respond to the Cordie Cheek lynching, to his 1997 appointment to head President Clinton's Initiative on Race, Franklin, with determination and dignity, has influenced the America's racial conscience. Franklin's life long fight for civil rights earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honour. Intimate, at times revelatory, "Mirror to America" chronicles Franklin's life, this America's racial transformation, and the extent to which the problem of America remains the problem of colour.
