"His
writings have changed the consciousness of a generation, and helped
open new paths to understanding and its crucial meaning for our lives,"
Noam Chomsky

Howard Zinn, renowned historian, teacher, activist, author and
playwright, passed away Wednesday of a heart attack at 87 years old. Although he wrote a number of books, it is "A
People's History of the United States", for which he will most likely
be remembered.
