Howard Zinn's "Peoples' History of the United States coming to the History Channel

I never miss an opportunity to see Howard Zinn after an old friend, Gary Francione, told me about him and I purchased his book:
A People's History of the United States, 1492 to the Present.
"Historians may well view it as a step toward a coherent new version of American history." Eric Foner, New York Times Book. Review I highly recommend you set your DVR to record this program on the History Channel on Sunday, December 13th. You will get an entirely new perspective from what you may have learned in school, unless of course you were always a political junkie like me. The corporatist and neocons were around right at the start.

On December 13th, a date I've basically had tattooed on my arm like the guy from Memento, The People Speak finally makes its debut on the History Channel. This is more than just must-see-TV. It is nothing less than the life's work of "people's historian" Howard Zinn brought to life by some of the most talented actors, musicians, and poets in the country. Howard Zinn and his partner Anthony Arnove chose the most stirring political passages in Zinn's classic A People's History of the United States, creating a written anthology called Voices of a People's History of the United States. Those "voices" have now been fully resurrected by a collection of performers ranging from Matt Damon to hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco to poet Staceyann Chin. Article here.
