Franklin Armstrong is a fictional character in the comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz. Introduced on July 31, 1968, Franklin was the first black character in the strip. Franklin was known to be studious and inquisitive about the funny things in Charlie Brown’s neighborhood. The creation of Franklin traces back to Harriet Glickman, a school teacher from Los Angeles who wrote a letter, dated April 15, 1968, to Schulz, imploring him to integrate a Black character in the comic strip. In the wake of the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., Glickman wrote to the cartoonist that he had the opportunity to help change the attitudes of people through his comics. This message was brought to you by the ERASE Club in honor of Black History Month.

TSA Club will be having their next meeting tomorrow morning at 7:45 in Room 105 where we will be taking our yearbook photo. Hope to see you there!
