	TomDispatch - Tomdispatch Interview: Howard Zinn, The Outer Limits of Empire
		Howard Zinn: Often a protest movement that's already underway -- and the present antiwar movement was underway even before the Iraq War began -- gets a special impetus, a special spark, from one person's act of defiance.
		Zinn: In the antiwar movement of the Vietnam years, there wasn't one person, but when I think back to the abolitionist movement, Frederick Douglass was a special figure in that way.
		Zinn: It's a very important development, because when cracks occur in what had previously seemed to be the solidity of the top, it becomes that much more difficult to carry on.

	Howard Zinn's Biased History
		Zinn morally justifies the murder by labeling the victim a “trader, Indian-kidnapper, and troublemaker.” This loaded account helps Zinn persuade his readers that it was the white man’s greed that led to the Pequot War.
		Zinn’s account of the Pequot war is a microcosm of his book as a whole which is little more than an 800-page libel against his country.
		Zinn – a pro-Communist supported Stalin’s monster regime at the time, elides the fact that it was the Soviet Union that pretended to be anti-fascist in Spain, then signed a pact with Hitler and then – when Hitler double-crossed his Communist ally and invaded the Soviet Union became anti-fascist again.

		Zinn was a bombardier who risked his life against the war on fascism, so when he gets to academia, it is nothing to risk his job for what he feels is the right thing to do.
		Howard Zinn makes me proud to be a liberal and an intellectual, and his well-written biography gives me hope that in the end, reason, compassion, and common sense will prevail over prejudice and dogma.
		Howard Zinn is and has been radical in many senses of the word, but the most important definition is fully explained in the preface to this book; Zinn has always found a way to search for the root of any subject he tackles.

	Ink 19 :: Howard Zinn
		This rhetorical exchange comes early in Zinn's 50-minute lecture, recorded at The Massachusetts College of Art in Boston on October 10, 2001, setting the informal, accessible and occasionally ironic mood for his musings on the role of the artist in times of war and political tumult.
		In the topsy-turvy socio-political climate following the September 11 assault, Zinn argues that the artist in particular must transcend the "given wisdom" and "the word of the establishment" and act as a balanced, independent voice among blind patriotic frenzy.
		Zinn's tone is not the get-off-your-fat-ass-and-effect-a-change inspirational sort, nor is his message especially revelatory.

	Howard Zinn, A Radical American Vision
		Zinn enlisted in the Army Air Corps and served as a bombardier.
		Zinn is well known as one of the first white leaders of the Civil Rights movement and he was one of the leading anti-Vietnam war activists as well.
		Zinn would have us believe that the “late unpleasantness” was about ending African chattel slavery when in fact the war was about the Eastern financiers and manufacturers maintaining a rather stiff tariff that punished the agrarian South.

	A radical life, celebrated on the big screen
		Zinn's resolve, and his outlook on politics and social issues, can be traced to his childhood in New York City, where Zinn grew up in extremely poor conditions.
		Because they lived in such cramped quarters, Zinn hung out in the street; at age 17, Zinn went to a peace-and-justice rally in Times Square, invited by friends who were Communists, and he was clubbed in the head by a police officer who was part of a squad that descended on the demonstrators without provocation.
		In both works, Zinn says it's impossible for historians, journalists or anyone writing nonfiction to be neutral -- that if Zinn were a passive observer or chronicler, he would be a de facto "collaborator" with the country's controlling interests, who, Zinn says, want to continue their ways of war and commerce.

		Zinn sarcastically adds, “When we look at the American Revolution this way, it was a work of genius, and the Founding Fathers deserve the awed tribute they have received over the centuries.
		Zinn writes, “it is money and profit, not the movement against slavery, that was uppermost in the priorities of the men who ran the country.” Rather than welcoming emancipation, as one might expect, Zinn casts a cynical eye towards it.
		Zinn suggests that America, not Japan, was to blame for Pearl Harbor by provoking the Empire of the Sun.
