The works of Brooklyn-born author and historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010), particularly the classic bestsellers, A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States, continue to shine a light on the extraordinary history of those engaged in struggles for freedom and justice. This night of readings and musical performances—featuring actors Wallace Shawn, Jessica Hecht, and Arian Moayed, comedian Hari Kondabolu, musician Ali Dineen, poet Staceyann Chin, and other special guests to be announced—is inspired by author Dave Zirin’s acclaimed new biography. The People's Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn, and will feature selections from Zinn’s own writing and speeches, as well as work that deeply inspired him.
