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 in America. Ahead of the United States’ semi-quincentennial, the voices that have shaped our history are being systematically erased by the forces of censorship and white supremacy.

With performances from Carl Hancock Rux, Christina Kirk, Isabelle McCalla, Jeorge Bennett Watson, Mona Moriya, Nikki M. James, and Robin de Jesús, musical accompaniment by Sharp Radway, and narration by Anthony Arnove and Haley Pessin, this evening will serve as a crucial reminder that the history of dissent shall never be erased.
