Howard Zinn on what our problem is.

[Tiggeroshii]

I really miss this guy :cry:

[LAGC]

1. "People's History" is truly one of the greatest works of the 20th Century.

R.I.P. Dr. Zinn.

5. RIP

I would actually love to hear more from Chomsky on the ows movement.

[Riverman]

6. Just tonight partner and I talking with son about Howard Zinn

Saying that the real history of the US is not taught in schools and I said that every young person should read Howard Zinn's People's Histry of the United States. One of my all time favorite book and he is a great hero for his lifetime of work.

[woo me with science]

7. K&R Great post. nt

9. I've accepted that I'll miss Howard Zinn every day of my life

until it's over.

12. Did you know Howard?

He was one of the really nicest, most personally interested professors I ever had. It made BU seem like a bargain. Most of the rest of it was only so-so, but Howard made it fun and worth every moment. You were always aware of being part of history in Prof. Zinn's class, and how important each and every individual really is to the successful outcome for the rest of humanity.

That was an important lesson I came away with.

[EFerrari]

18. No, I didn't know him. And I can't believe I never managed

to get out to meet him before he died. But he was so much on the right side of things, you knew that whatever response he had to a situation was going to be valuable.

10. I wasn't familiar with his work

until it was mentioned in the movie: Good Will Hunting:

Anyone know what language that is in the subtitles?

[Kaleko]

15. The subtitles look like Korean characters.

Another K&R for the brilliant Howard Zinn.

[KatyMan]

16. I would guess Korean

at least from my limited knowledge!

[BrendaBrick]

17. Thank you both for your replies.

Though a bit far-fetched, wouldn't it be something if some of the North Koreans were starting to catch the drift of Howard Zinn? (Assuming of course, that this is Korean?)

[Solly Mack]

11. True

13. K&R! eom

[Quantess]

14. Well said!
