Tomorrow on Bill Moyers' Journal......The one and only Howard Zinn

December 4, 2009

"They're willing to let people think about mild reforms and little changes, and incremental changes, but they don't want people to think that we could actually transform this country."

Howard Zinn has long been known as the historian of the American everyman and woman. His groundbreaking work, THE PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, turned history on its head — concentrating on the power of the people to effect change, not just the deeds of great men and those in political power.

Now selections from his collection of voices from the American past are performed by actors, poets and writers in a new documentary directed by Matt Damon which is airing on The History Channel. Find out more about some of those voices below, and delve further into American history through the JOURNAL's coverage of American history on-air and online. ..........(more)

6. Thanks Marmar!

That should be one hell of a program!

I'm so sad that Moyers is retiring.
Too bad more people don't watch his show.
Maybe they'd learn something like the TRUTH.
