Howard Zinnâs productive insights into history came to an end at his death in January 2010. This edition of Radio Curious shares a previously not broadcast interview with Howard Zinn, recorded on July 7, 2006, where he discusses the important role of civil disobedience in creating new social and legal policies which he states are impossible to foment using established legislative or judicial practices. Radio Curious host, Barry Vogel, Esq. begins this memorial program with the last few paragraphs of the first chapter of âA Peopleâs History of the United States, 1492 to Present,â written by Zinn and published in 1988. Vogel also shares his recollection of Zinn when they met in Greenwood, Mississippi in 1963. The song âAinât Gonna Let Segregation Turn Us Around,â sung by the Freedom Singers is found on Broadside Records #301, recorded in 1962.
The books Howard Zinn recommends are âIraq: The Logic of Withdrawal,â by Anthony Arnov, and âOverthrow: Americaâs Century of Regime Change From Hawaii to Iraq,â by Stephen Kinzer.
