People Speak : American Voices Some Famous Some Little Known The - ZINN:
To celebrate the millionth copy sold of Howard Zinn's great People's History of the United States Zinn drew on the words of Americans -- some famous some little known -- across the range of American history.
These words were read by a remarkable cast at an event held at the 92nd Street YMHA in New York City that included James Earl Jones Alice Walker Jeff Zinn Kurt Vonnegut Alfre Woodard Marisa Tomei Danny Glover Myla Pitt Harris Yulin and Andre Gregory.
From that celebration this book was born.
Collected here under one cover is a brief history of America told through dramatic readings applauding the enduring spirit of dissent.
Here in their own words and interwoven with commentary by Zinn are Columbus on the Arawaks; Plough Jogger a farmer and participant in Shays' Rebellion; Harriet Hanson a Lowell mill worker; Frederick Douglass; Mark Twain; Mother Jones; Emma Goldman; Helen Keller; Eugene V.
Debs; Langston Hughes; Genova Johnson Dollinger on a sit-down strike at General Motors in Flint Michigan; an interrogation from a 1953 HUAC hearing; Fannie Lou Hamer a sharecropper and member of the Freedom Democratic Party; Malcolm X; and James Lawrence Harrington a Gulf War resister among others.
