What a loss. Sad day.
I credit his writings/speeches/readings for shaping and solidifying my views when I first discovered him back in the mid-nineties. On my short list of progressive heroes along with June Jordan, Paul Wellstone. Great thinkers, and really great human beings. Sadly, all recently deceased.
RIP.
The thing that sucks about this in particular is that the trolls are already out in force (on the AV Club specifically), talking shit about Zinn’s writings.
Fuck them. But then again, they are their own death.
“such celebrities as Bruce Springsteen and Ben Affleck”
Does that seem like a really strange pair of celebs to mention in the same breath to anyone else? I was like “Wow, Springsteen, cool, and … um … Ben Affleck? What?”
Then again, he was the bomb in Phantoms.
If you have not read this book, you should. I also recommend “Lies my father told me” which is related subject matter
Correction (it’s early:)) The book is “lies my teacher told me” the author is James loewen, 1995.
