Dr. Franklin’s remarkable and inspiring life of scholarship, achievement, and accomplishment is a source of pride and hope, not just for African-Americans, but all Americans. Dr. Franklin is precisely the caliber of individual whom GCC wishes to hold high as a role model for the community in general, and for our children in particular. As a former Tulsan and one of the nation’s greatest historians, Dr. Franklin is exceptionally well acquainted with the significance of Greenwood’s history and its current legacy. For these reasons, GCC proudly salutes Dr. John Hope Franklin, a living legend.
