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 87.
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 won words and we
speak with those who knew him best: Noam Chomsky, Alice Walker, Naomi
Klein and Anthony Arnove.
