The first Black 'Peanuts' character finally gets his origin story in animated special
Charles Schulz first drew Franklin in 1968 after receiving a letter from a white Los Angeles school teacher named Harriet Glickman. She reached out to Schulz following the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Check out her letter. 🥰
@nursefrombirth I'm delighted by this and it's long past time! But I have to be honest: damn I wish it wasn't on apple!!!!
@nursefrombirth I thought I read it would also be the first time he is given dialogue in the show too. I love this.
