| JOHN TEMPLETON (1912-2008)
|
Sir John Templeton was one of the world's greatest investors, deepest thinkers, and most generous
philanthropists. He devoted much of his considerable financial and intellectual capital to asking
the "big questions" surrounding religion, science, morality, and how market forces can be utilized
to ensure that each individual has the opportunity to prosper and achieve their
God-given potential. The Manhattan Institute is deeply saddened by the loss of Sir John but we
take solace in the fact that his legacy will live on through the work of the foundation that bears
his name.

celebrate a "hip-hop revolution" that will never lead to meaningful change. McWhorter points beyond
these empty gestures to a brave new politics, calling for a renewed sense of purpose and pride
in black communities. To learn more, click here.
