Benjamin Franklin: 300 Philadelphia, Panel Discussion and Book Signing
On Wednesday, November 30, 2005, I attended the panel discussion and book signing, celebrating the publication of Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World at the Free Library of Philadelphia, 1901 Vine Street. Six leading Franklin scholars and essay authors shared their perspectives on why Franklin still makes news. It went very well. The panelists included:
