Howard Zinn fought in WWII. He was a professor at Spelman College, an all black women's college. He was active in the civil rights movement & inspired his students to engage in civil disobedience. He criticized the vicious & unjustified Vietnam War. He told the history of the United States as seen by women, minorities, slaves, union workers, immigrants, Indians.... He was a man of the people. He will live eternally in our hearts & minds as a man of courage and integrity.

@ehunter2 The only thing killing braincells is you.

I see you hate the Jews as well. Good little nazi. No wonder you're so full of hate for Zinn, who merely hoisted onto a modest pedestal the REAL people who built America.

Sly fascist trash like you, wrapped up in the propaganda net that's ensnared you, barking at the mythical "Red Menace" your sly owners pointed you at, while they sucked the marrow and cracked the bones of your children.

How dumb ARE you ?

Don't bother answering. We know.

The week Howard Zinn passed away the FBI released a report that he was a COMMUNIST. This guy wrote books our schools are using. Wake up people. Take care... Gman

Howard Zinn was an awesome individual. His books are insightful and informative.

'The Peoples History of the United States' is a must read for anyone interested in USA History.

He did things to help and educate others not an arrogant, greedy, self-fish person like some trolls on YT.

Just finished Peoples History of U.S. Just amazing.

Unless you read this book you'll never know what anarchists/socialists/communit­st did to help this country.

@olegeez55 Howard Zinn was an anarchist - alternet.org/news/85427/ - you clearly haven't read enough of his stuff.

@ehunter2 .There are no lies except the ones you keep spewing.He was never a memeber of any communist group and he was never a member of any group associated with the soviet union.The hwole point of his book is to look at history from a different side.Even your feeble minded brain must know history is biased/subjective after taking facts into account.There are a ton of history books of americas success.How many of the people that built the nation? mouth breathers like you are a disgrace.

@ehunter2 .what a joke.take out the original context?lies?no.not a tall.different perspective maybe but hardly lies or anything like that.People need to learn facts.Zinn was never part ofthe communist parties,not that there is anything wrong witht hat,and took part in marches that may have communist groups.THis was at the height of anit communism just as they spread lies like trying tonlink martin luther king to the communist moment.Your points are a joke.
