Howard Zinn's "The People Speak" Incredible show on History Channel
wow.. when did the History channel finally find their courage??

I saw Zinn's live performance in MN last year of "the People Speak" but this was also incredible.

It is the people who make new laws and change, not Congress, not a President.

I hope lots of people watched the 2 hour "People's History". They might learn a little bit of democracy.

I loved the words of Sojourn Truth's words, "Am I Not A Woman?".

and the signing and reading by John Legend.


The History Channel would do well if they showed documentary of "revolutionaries".

7. Matt Damon's reading of Tom Joad's final speech
from "The Grapes of Wrath" was very stirring, even better than Henry Fonda's rendition.

Wow.
