Renowned historian Howard Zinn has chronicled centuries of people’s struggles against oppression and economic exploitation in his “A People’s History of the United States” and “A People’s History of American Empire.” This week, Howard Zinn joins Bill Moyers to discuss the voice of today’s people in the shadow of big interests’ outsized influence in Washington. Zinn is a professor emeritus at Boston University, and co-editor of the new film “The People Speak” for the History Channel.
An urgent appeal for your support: 24 Hours to raise $15,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 24 hours to hit our $15,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
