Just makes me sick when I recommend that people read Zinn and they say, "Isn't he that leftist author?" and then refuse to read him. Anything that tells OUR history from first person perspectives IS the truth, not easily dismissible by labeling "leftist"! Our kids are so stupid today because they learn NOTHING about the contributions of everyday people to our country. Just carry it on, folks, and read Zinn's books! Reclaim this country! Thank you, Howard Zinn.

David Zirin is a typical left wing goon who thinks all white non Jews are complete retards and they always need to be spoken to like 4 year olds because their narrative is different to his point of view

The loss is there for sure , but what Howard Zinn left us , makes up for it in a way that lets us feel less about the loss when weighed against the amazing legacy he left with us !

I too , have my cherished , dog eared copy of "Peoples History of the United States" - only mine is completely original since I lettered over the top of the title to read "bloody History" because to me , that is what he exposed to my mind as the legacy of this country !

Howard Zinn - RIP !

Forget all about this left/right wing poli-trash-talk nonsense,

this man changed many of my misguided perceptions, and for that , for me, he will always be remembered. May you rest well and may the passion for history that you burned in all who were and are lucky enough to come across your work never fade out.

@ExposeZionistCrimes "Progressive? Is that a new code word for marxist bolshevik?"

Yes, in some cases it is. I am proudly leftist, a fact which I will put in your worthless, scumfuck conservative twat face every second of the day until I pass from this Earth.

Now: Let me teach you something NOT propagandized on Fox News daily:

Conservative: A new code word for a proto-fascist.

"When fascism comes to America it will be waving the flag & carrying a Christian cross."

Truer words never spoken.

Would you prefer "History As 'The Founders' See It?"

[Remus0387]

Sorry to say i never really knew about Howard Zinn, but he is from what i've seen and heard a historian and social activist who brought to life history from the common man's perspective, things that are glossed over in regular history classes, and he engendered alot of love and respect from people. Rest in peace, Howard.

[supressorgrid]

In other words his book could be titled "History As I See It".
