John Hope Franklin, author of the acclaimed From Slavery To Freedom: A History of Negro Americans, is a tireless student, teacher and writer with a wry way with words. And his superb collection of 27 essays range from meditations on the ideals and dilemmas of his profession to historical sketches.

But you might want to start with the essay, "A Life of Learning" (1988). It's vintage John Hope Franklin on none other than the esteemed historian himself.
