Open Casket, a co-edited volume by Prof. A. Todd Franklin, the Eugene M. Tobin Distinguished Professor of Philosophy & Africana Studies, has been selected for a Featured Review in Choice, the premier review publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). The title was among a carefully curated group of racial justice works chosen for long-form critical attention — a distinction reserved for titles of exceptional scholarly and social significance.
