Last Sunday, one of my true inspirations and heroes, Franklin Rosemont, passed away. On April 4, 2009, Franklin gave his last public speaking appearance at the opening for Brains, Brilliancy, Bohemia, a show I curated at Mess Hall.

Franklin was a tireless organizer, and a remarkable historian; to be in his presence demanded reverence. I know of no other publisher so dedicated to making available the “non-stuffed shirt” version of history than Charles H Kerr, the publishing company he co-directed. He will most certainly be missed.
