 Don't Mourn, OrganizeCelebrate the remarkable life and legacy of Howard Zinn by organizing a community screening of The People Speak documentary or hosting a reading of Voices of a People's History of the United States. For more information, visit the Voices of a People's History site.
This would work well in classrooms as well. The People Speak provides readings and performances of letters, diary entries, speeches, and songs from throughout U.S. history by noted performers. To plan which segment(s) to use with your class or community group, view the full list of chapters, performers, readings, and songs.
Let us know if you do an activity with your class. Email us at the Zinn Education Project with photos and/or a story that we can share.
