Voices of a People's History | Student Performance

  • David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center 61 West 62nd Street New York, NY, 10023 United States (map)

Now in its eighth year, this annual collaboration between Voices of a People’s History and Lincoln Center, featuring students from Judith S. Kaye High School, N.Y.C. Lab School for Collaborative Studies, and Urban Academy Laboratory High School, is inspired by the beloved Brooklyn-born author and academic Howard Zinn’s (1922-2010) classic bestseller A People's History of the United States. Following an in-classroom year of studying the speeches, letters, and songs of the people who inspired Zinn’s seminal book, students from these select schools will bring to life these heroic voices and find personal meaning in these timeless texts. Join us to witness a new generation's public expression of the dreams of rebels, dissenters, and visionaries; plus, guest readings from celebrated actors of film, tv and stage: Michael Ealy and Haskiri Velazquez with musical accompaniment from pianist Jacob Yates.
