I miss Howard Zinn. A truly great and admirable man! His kind is quite rare today. I can only think of Ralph Nader (thankfully still alive), Dennis Kucinich and Michael Moore, as champions of the working people and downtrodden.

Howard Zinn is awesome, he is a great historian who tells it like it is, no sugar coat what so ever. This interviewer is hot.

@JixMa You forgot Howard's good friend Noam Chomsky. Comment pending approval, not in favor of freedom of speech?

Celebrate 100 years of the Lawrence Textile Strike, known as the Bread & Roses Strike of 1912. The Bread & Roses Centennial website details an exhibit, syposium, concerts, theater and other events.

Thank you for this video ! Since the news of Howard Zinn passing, I have been sorta obsessed with all of the very interesting pieces of history from Howard Zinn that I had not heard of before. I plan on soon buying some of his books, but I cannot get enough .. please upload more videos like this. Thanks again!

@HaoSci"The girl just keeps nodding, her lines are robotic at best."

Oh, yeah? Is that how you see a reporter asking a question & giving the person being interviewed a chance to talk & fully answer the question without interruption? Stop watching FoxNoise & their ambush-style tactics to ask a question and then cut you off as soon as you're midway into your first sentence. You, sir (or ma'am) are very conditioned by the "sound bite" propaganda machine that passes as journalism today. Wake up!

Dr. Zinn was, as is evident here, a remarkable man. He is missed. Thanks for this closing glimpse.
