Happy Birthday to one of the greatest Americans
Edited on Tue Aug-24-10 10:52 AM by marmar

"Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery - have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience."





Howard Zinn would have been 88 today.

3. It is truly a tragedy that he is no longer here to celebrate it with those that admire him.
If one would look up "Great Man" in the dictionary, I have no doubt it would be a picture of Howard Zinn.

4. The even bigger tragedy is how many on DU would scream that he's a terrorist, kook, and Conspiracy

Theorist these days.

That being said, you can be assured that aforementioned picture is in said dictionary. :)

Zinn was truly one of a kind.
