The book chronicles the life of John Hope Franklin, a pivotal figure in the fight against racial segregation in America. Born in 1915, he faced the harsh realities of racism, yet rose to prominence as a historian, earning a Ph.D. from Harvard and becoming the first African American full professor at a predominantly white institution. His influential work, particularly "From Slavery to Freedom," has transformed the understanding and teaching of African American history. Franklin's journey reflects both personal resilience and a broader societal change.
