Howard Zinn dies
A great thinker, activist, and teacher has passed away. Not many use their lives as well as brother Zinn. Discovering his “People’s History of the United States” was a revelatory moment for me. I know I am not alone in my grief that we will no longer have Howard Zinn among us. Here are some Youtube highlights of his life and work.
The other 52 parts of the 20th century version of the “People’s History” are available on YouTube as well if you want to devote the time.
