"Best of Enemies," by Osha Gray Davidson
By definition they were sworn enemies: An African-American civil rights 
activist and an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. But during ten 
days in 1971, they formed a deep and loving friendship. Author Osha 
Gray Davidson tells the story of C.P. Ellis and Ann Atwater in his 
book, “The Best of Enemies,” and he and Ann join host Frank Stasio to

Dick Gordon
John Hope Franklin was born in 1915 to an America still divided by 
race. Throughout his childhood and early education, his mother and 
father taught him the value of service, discipline, and hard work as 
the best way to rise above discrimination. He grew up to become one of 
this nation's most respected African American scholars.
Today, Dick Gordon talks with John Hope Franklin about the stories that 
have shaped him as a person and influenced his views of American 
history.
At the start of World War II, Dr. Franklin was turned away at a Navy 
recruitment center for being the wrong color. His brother, Buck, was 
drafted and endured debilitating racism in the Army. Looking back, Dr. 
Franklin sees how experiences like these have made him ambivalent about 
his country. In the end, he believes that American society will grow 
only if it learns to confront its past.
