After years of dedication to the cause of nonviolent activism, Howard Zinn passed away yesterday, January 27,2010. Most famously know for his authorship of “A People’s History of the United States,” Zinn devoted his life to peaceful resistance. Haunted by his experience as a bombardier during WWII, he began questioning the motivations of military action and winning wars through civilian deaths and collateral damage. Since then he has taught at Spelman College and Boston University and been at the forefront of the civil rights movement as well as anti-war movements. For more information: click here.
