Readings from The Voices of the People's History of the United States

(Cheers to Danny Mayer who introduced me to the DVD)

Description of the DVD



The book that inspired the DVD's readings.



The book above is a collection of the actual documents of the people whose history is related in this Howard Zinn classic book

"As a teacher, I'm not interested in just reproducing class after class of graduates who will get out, become successful, and take their obedient places in the slots that society has prepared for them. What we must do--whether we teach or write or make films--is educate a new generation to do this very modest thing: change the world." (15)

Zinn, Howard. "Stories Hollywood Never Tells." The Sun #343 (July 2004): 12-15.

All he wants is for us to learn and write our own histories
