Dr. Franklin, in all his brilliance has inspired me achieve to my highest, even at the age of 59 and a thirty-seven year teacher of public education. I love his work and I enjoy reading all that I can about his life and of his beautiful wife. My son graduated from Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC. We are extremely proud to have that connection.
