addition to learning
Because tho issues that stu
dents face are very complex,
especially issues of AIDS,
sexually transmitted diseases
and drug abuse, the peer
advisers play an important
role in the education of the
students. Many students sim
ply feel more comfortable
talking with a peer.
"Research evidence has
shown that peers listen to
each other,” said Annie
Dochnahl. health educator at
the health center. "The theme
this year is ‘Get Active.' As a
health educator, it’s my
responsibility to Inform the
students about the disease
Also, there are a few people
who don't know someone
with AIDS."
Dochnahl wants students to
realize that serious illnesses
can be prevented if precau
tions are taken to avoid catch
ing viruses such as AIDS.
Preventative measures will
l»e especially crucial toward
men in society.
"It s a huge problem and
everyone is vulnerable,
including men." said Grady
O'Connor, peer health advis
er. "AIDS is the leading i-ause
of death among men (of nil
sexual preferences) ages IB to
25 With (a promiscuous)
typo of lifestyle you must
realize it's an issue. Basically,
play now. pay later."
If any students am interest
ed in becoming involved in
tlie Peer Health Program, (.all

archive director, who at first referred to him ns the "Harvard nigger."
And history moved on.
"By the way." Franklin said, as offhandedly os he could, "one of
my own Ph D s is now head of that archives "
Born in strictly segregated Oklahoma in 1915. son of a lawyer and
a schooltear her. Franklin has witnessed and chronicled black Amer
icans' hard won progress toward equal rights and status. But it's not
enough, he says.
"We're going in two directions at one time," he said. "More and
more blocks are moving up into the middle and upper classes, but
more and more of them are sinking. ... We still have to confront the
basic problems of poverty, and the relationship between poverty and
race."
The many blacks who have advanced cannot rejoice, be said, as
long as many others remain trapped in ghettos.
• The most tragic thing is. they are being dehumanized and alien
ated and destroyed; if they're not being destroyed, then we put guns
and dope in their hands and say, Destroy yourself.' " he said.
This is a part of living history that Americans turn their backs on.
Franklin said "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the great
ness of this country. It's just another kind of thing," he said.
He paused in his office, lined with shelves where a biography of
abolitionist John Brown stands near one titled "Klanwatch."
1 hope we re beginning to address it." he said, allowing just a
glimmer of the optimism that shows through his writings and lec
tures.
Gesturing to an office window, he said, "I'd jump out of the build
ing if I weren't hopeful.”
Mui h of his work has emphasized the role that blacks have played
in American history Black patriots fought at Lexington and Concord,
he points out in From Shivery to Freedom. They crossed the
Delaware with Washington, explored with 1-ewis and Clark.
And this is not to mention his work on those who made their
names in history as stalwarts for equal rights, among them W.E.B. Du
Bois. who as he grew older became a friend of the young Franklin.
Franklin himself has led national scholarly societies and served on
presidential commissions. As a candidate. President Bill Clinton
sought out the tall, graying professor for a one-on-one seminar.
Yale historian C. Vann Woodward and Franklin served together on
a committee that helped prepare the legal brief in the 1954 Brown vs.
Board of Education case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed
"separate but equal” schools.
Woodward remembered their side-by-side work in research rooms
during segregation.
"I've seen him leave the library in search of a place to relieve his
bladder," he recalled — blacks were not allowed to use the facilities.
And today?
"The color line is alive, well and flourishing in the final decade of
the 20th century,” Franklin said in a lecture delivered last year at the
University of Missouri, just after four police officers were acquitted
in the beating of l.os Angeles motorist Rodney King, setting off dead
ly riots.
"There is nothing inherently wrong with being aware of color as
long as it is seen as making distinctions in a pleasant, superficial and
unimportant manner," he said, adding:
"It is only when character is attached to color, when ability is mea
sured by color, when privilege is tied to color, and a whole galaxy of
factors that spell the difference between success and failure in our
society are tied to color — it is only when such considerations are
attached to color that it becomes a deadly, dreadful, denigrating fac
tor among us all.”
Then, he concluded, in an echo of the Kerner Commission. "We
have two nations, black and white, separate, hostile, unequal."
John Hope Franklin — professor emeritus, former president of the
Americ an Historical Association, author and editor now working on
his late father's autobiography — still watches history unfold.
The prosperous black households featured on television comedies
will "encourage what 1 call denial of the real problems of the coun
try."
"But," fie added, "I don't see how that can drown out the noises
made by the Los Angeles riots.”
