Howard Zinn
Great American Teacher, Author, Playwright, Activist

With sadness, we learned of the passing of Howard Zinn on Wednesday, January 27th. NAME celebrates his life and the vast contributions to Social Justice fields by this outspoken teacher and author. His book, People’s History of the United States, demystified American History and transformed our concept of democracy. NAME is thankful to have his words and work to continue to guide us as we work for the People’s United States. Zinn was 87 and living in Boston at the time of his death. His work continues and his legacy is well served with the extensive resources available on the rich website:
Teaching A People’s History: Zinn Education Project.
Howard Zinn impacted all of our lives. This is truly a sad moment. He made our work visible to a world that hadn’t been paying attention! We are so thank for all he did. Let’s keep his work moving forward!
