News and Biographical Information about John Hope Franklin
http://www.duke.edu/web/jhfcenter/news/JHF.html
This site, part of the John Hope Franklin Center at Duke University, is a list of links to articles written about Franklin. Underneath the titles of the links is the author, the publication in which the article is found, and in the majority of the cases, the date of publication. Not all the secondary links are active which can be very frustrating but links from this site allow viewers to read biographies from a variety of sources. Since this "News at the Center" site is part of the larger John Hope Franklin at Duke University Web site, there is also access to information about the J.H.F. Center. Students can view, among other things, information about the Center, Center happenings, News and Press Releases, Duke University, as well as a map and directions. The site is appropriate for Middle and Secondary schools.
