Howard Zinn on The Uses of History and the War on Terrorism
Howard Zinn on The Uses of History and the War on
Terrorism
Howard Zinn is one of this country's most celebrated historians.
His classic work "A People's History of the United States"
changed the way we look at history in America. First published
a quarter of a century ago, the book has sold over a million
copies and is a phenomenon in the world of publishing - selling
more copies each successive year. [includes rush
transcript]
After serving as a bombardier in World War II, Howard Zinn
went on to become a lifelong dissident and peace activist.
He was active in the civil rights movement and many of the
struggles for social justice over the past 40 years.
He taught at Spelman College, the historically black college
for women, and was fired for insubordination for standing
up for the students. He was recently invited back to give
the commencement address.
Howard Zinn has written numerous books and is professor
emeritus at Boston University. He recently spoke in Madison,
Wisconsin where he was receiving the Haven Center's Award
for Lifetime Contribution to Critical Scholarship. We bring
you his lecture, "The Uses of History and the War on
Terrorism."
