What university was founded in part by the man falsly cited as giving the antisemitic speech known as "The Franklin Prophecy"?
Franklin Prophecy "The Franklin Prophecy", sometimes called "The Franklin Forgery", is an antisemitic speech falsely attributed to Benjamin Franklin, warning of the supposed dangers of admitting Jews to the nascent United States. The speech was purportedly transcribed by Charles Cotesworth Pinckney during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but was unknown before its appearance in 1934 in the pages of William Dudley Pelley's Silver Legion pro-Nazi weekly magazine "Liberation". No evidence exists for the document's authenticity, and some of the author's claims have actively been disproven.
