Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 -- January 27, 2010) was an American historian, academic, author, playwright, and social activist. Before and during his tenure as a political science professor at Boston University from 1964-88 he wrote more than 20 books, which included his best-selling and influential A People's History of the United States. He wrote extensively about the civil rights and anti-war movements, as well as of the labor history of the United States. His memoir, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, was also the title of a 2004 documentary about Zinn's life and work.

1. For anyone who gets LinkTV, they're showing the documentary several times this month.

Quite a few times actually. It's the spring fundraiser and they're showing lots and lots of excellent films and lectures.

One was "Apology of an Economic Hitman", a John Perkins documentary. Michael Moore, Chris Hedges, Greg Palast, Bill Moyers, and an especially good speech by Richard Wolff, "Can we afford Capitalism".

Must see TV.
