Okay, so I saw this question popping up everywhere online: “Is James Franklin African American?” I got curious, so I decided to do some digging myself. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step.
First Stop: The Obvious – Wikipedia
I started with the most basic search. I typed “James Franklin” into Google, figuring Wikipedia would be the first thing to show up. And it was! I clicked on the page for the Penn State football coach (since that’s who most people are probably asking about).
Scanning the Page
I scrolled through the Wikipedia page, looking for any mention of his ethnicity or background. I checked the “Early Life” and “Personal Life” sections, thinking that’s where that kind of info would usually be.
Looking for Clues
I read the * says his father is an African American,and his mother is white from England.
Putting It All Together
Based on what I read he is of African American decent.
