Labor Day Special Featuring Howard Zinn & Voices of a People’s History of the United States
In 1980, historian Howard Zinn published his classic work, A People’s History of the United States. The book would go on to sell over a million copies and change the way many look at history in America. We begin today’s special with highlights from a production of Howard Zinn’s Voices of a People’s History of the United States, where Zinn introduced dramatic readings from history. We hear Alfre Woodard read the words of labor activist Mother Jones and Howard’s son Jeff Zinn read the words of an IWW poet and organizer Arturo Giovannitti.
@kleonard maybe you can give us an update on this next time you’re up by Yellow Springs?
If one of us dirty Americans pick up a feather from a bird not in season they would throw you under the jail. Illegal immigrants… no problem taking game out of season or killing peoples pets. WTF?
Obama’s on TikTok to get young voters for Harris. Dems want to beat Trump with under-30s. TikTok’s sketchy but they’ll use it anyway. Broader effort to register 30M potential voters. Both parties love/hate TikTok. Trump’s weird about banning it. Obama’s still a Dem weapon.
