1. Howard Zinn rocks, and its too bad that more folks aren't hip
to him or his books.

2. My aunt gave me a People's History
right before I started college, to make sure I got the whole story. Very cool stuff. I met him at Daniel Berrigan's 80th (I think) birthday party.

4. "Passionate Declarations" is another great book.
Essays on War and Justice, you'll love it and it is a real eye opener.

You have a very smart aunt.

7. she's brilliant, been active in the movement for
over 40 years. The highlight of her life was getting a hug from Bishop Desmond Tutu on a trip to southern Africa in the 1980s.

My late grandmother was also active starting from childhood (grew up Cherokee in Oklahoma.) There is even a family story of her grandmother (Scottish) being a labor organizer of steel workers in Ohio in the late 19th century.

I've got to uphold my traditional family values.

3. I won't comment on whether he's a "fox" or not, since I really have
no ability to discern what constitutes a "fox" of the male gender :). BUT, I do have a picture from the protest in Boston last month to help with the voting process

5. Ask me again in 40 years, and I'm sure I'll vote "yes."
Right now, I'm undecided. :)

9. Howard Zinn is just a regular guy
He spoke at a free public forum at the Newtown library a couple weeks ago.

10. In that pic he looks like a soap opera actor that passed a while back.
I can't remember his name though. He looks just like him. The soap he was on was "The Guilding Light" (I think) and his screen name was Roger. Maybe somebody can help me out.
