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.
