In February 2003, a amazing event occurred in NY, a celebration of the millionth copy sold of Howard Zinn's great A People's History of america. Zinn drew on what of Americans -- some famous, some little known -- over the range of American history. These words were read by distinguished people in the arts: Alice Walker, Alfre Woodard, Kurt Vonnegut, James Earl Jones, Danny Glover, Marisa Tomei, Harris Yulin, Andre Gregory while others.From that event, this sound was born. It offers selections from Christopher Columbus, a Lowell mill worker, Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Eugene Debs, a HUAC interrogation, Malcolm X, and a Gulf War resister, which can be interwoven with commentary by Howard Zinn. This produces exciting listening which is on its own an invaluable contribution to understanding American history.
