America Has Lost One of Its Greatest Voices: Dr. Howard Zinn (1922 – 2010)
A true leader and inspiration for those who believe strongly enough in democracy to fight for it, Dr. Howard Zinn passed away today at the age of 87. Dr. Zinn wanted to be remembered for introducing a new way of thinking and “getting more people to realize that the power ultimately rests in people themselves and that they can use it.” Howard Zinn not only taught people history, he showed them how to shape it. He walked the talk. May he now rest in peace.
