We mourn the passing of historian, author and activist Howard Zinn, who recently passed away at the age of 87. His lifelong dedication to reframing history to include the voices and struggles of the poor, the oppressed and the forgotten inspired untold numbers of students, activists and citizens around the world in the struggle for social justice.His seminal 1980 work, A People's History of the United States, drew on voices seldom heard in the historical record: African Americans, women, Native Americans and laborers.
Mr. Zinn was scheduled to speak at our "All Rights for All People" conference in April. In light of his passing, we will dedicate space in commemoration of his work and legacy.
