Alice Walker, Danny Glover, Kurt Vonnegut, Marisa Tomei and Others Celebrate Howard Zinn’s Classic
Who would have thought a history book could become a best-seller? Who would have thought that a history book could not only become a best seller, but could become ever more popular over the years? Who would have thought a little while ago, Professor Howard Zinn would have sold the millionth copy of his famous book, A People’s History of the United States?
Well that’s what happened, and on Sunday night in New York City, a group of renowned authors, actresses and editors gathered to pay homage to the book that changed history.
Speakers include:
- Howard Zinn, Author, A People’s History of the United States
- Alice Walker, author, novelist and essayist
- Kurt Vonnegut, author
- Matthew Rothschild, Editor, The Progressive
- Alfre Woodard, actress
- Marisa Tomei, actress
