Howard Zinn: Howard Zinn (1922-2010) was a historian, playwright, and activist. He wrote the classic A People's History of the United States, "a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories."

Reviews

"Seminal" -Washington Post "[Zinn] details the complex social relationships that existed across the color line, while simultaneously rejecting the idea that racism was a uniquely southern affliction." -Imani Perry
