Readings From Howard Zinn's "Voices of a People's
History of the United States"
Today we spend the hour with readings from a Voices of a
People's History of the United States edited by historian
Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove. It is the companion volume
to Zinn’s legendary People’s History of the United
States – which has sold over a million copies.
We will hear dramatic readings of speeches, letters, poems,
songs, petitions, and manifestos. These are the voices of
people throughout U.S. history who struggled against slavery,
racism, and war, against oppression and exploitation, and
who articulated a vision for a better world.
Performances include Danny Glover as Frederick Douglass,
Marisa Tomei as Cindy Sheehan, Floyd Red Crow Westerman as
Tecumseh and Chief Joseph, Sandra Oh as Emma Goldman and Yuri
Kochiyama, and Viggo Mortensen as Bartolomeo de Las Casas
and Mark Twain.
