Charles M. Schulz was a perceptive observer. Always curious, and with his great wit and wry sense of humor, he was able to open minds and hearts that others couldn't. Shortly after the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Los Angeles schoolteacher, Harriet Glickman, believed that Peanuts, the popular comic strip, could help influence attitudes on race. Because of their correspondence, Franklin was introduced to the cartoon in the summer of 1968 and has remained an important member of the Peanuts Gang, for fifty years. |
