Howard Zinn (1922-2010): A Tribute to the Legendary Historian with Noam Chomsky, Alice Walker, Naomi Klein and Anthony Arnove
Democracy Now with Amy Goodman
January 28, 2010

We pay tribute to the late historian, writer and activist Howard Zinn, who died suddenly on Wednesday of a heart attack at the age of eighty-seven. Howard Zinn’s classic work A People’s History of the United States changed the way we look at history in America. It has sold over a million copies and was recently made into a television special called The People Speak. We remember Howard Zinn in his own words, and we speak with those who knew him best: Noam Chomsky, Alice Walker, Naomi Klein and Anthony Arnove.

2. Yes! Thanks for Posting This! Zinn Was A Person I Admired & Respected...

Well, still do... however reading his books was intense! IMO, THEY should be "required reading" for all of us, but reality tells me far too few even get past what they hear on TEE-VEE!

RIP Howard Zinn!
