Remembering “Mac” McMahon

Franklin McMahon, a member of our Guiding Faculty, has died.  “Mac” was a unique artist, with the ability to capture individuals and crowds with instant recognizability.  As an artist/reporter, he was on the spot for many historical events across the decades.  His obituary in the New York Times is accompanied by his illustration of a pivotal moment in the trial of the murderers of Emmet Till, a seminal event in the civil rights struggle. 
We’ll miss Mac’s sense of humor and his generosity.
