Read, "A People's History of The United States".
It is amazing.
A historian, a teacher, and activist. He was an important figure for the civil rights and anti-war movements.

A SERIOUS rockstar of the best and most authentic kind. That book *alone* changed so many lives...and will (hopefully) change so many more...

I was lucky enough to see him in person giving an introduction to the film "Examined Life" in Cambridge, MA. He didn't look very healthy, but it was amazing to listen to him introduce a film about some of the greatest philosophical questions and thinkers.

both the crash and zinn's death mark the dawn of a new era in politics and economics. let's just hope our generation will be able to match his contribution in our age.
