This year marks 100 years since the birth of the historian Howard Zinn. In 1980, 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' son Jeff Zinn read the words of an IWW poet and organizer Arturo Giovannitti.
