Six Triangle-area
students and former students are presenting their work—drawn from the
various projects that earned them John Hope Franklin Awards in 2000—in
an exhibit at CDS from April 12 through August 4. Given annually by the
Center for Documentary Studies, these awards of up to $2,000 help university
students conduct summer-long documentary fieldwork projects. Students
attending Duke, UNC–Chapel Hill, North Carolina Central University,
and North Carolina State are eligible to apply. The documentary work may
be conducted in various media. The awards were named in honor of John Hope
Franklin, a dedicated teacher and James B. Duke professor emeritus in Duke's
history department, whose lifelong commitment to his students has been a
hallmark of his career. |
