Reader’s Theater of Howard Zinn’s "Voices of a People’s History of the United States"
Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States first published 23 years ago and the millionth copy of the book was recently sold. It has become a classic work of history. It is used in countless schools across the country, it has inspired a generation of historians and students and it has reshaped how many people view this country’s history. To celebrate this feat a group of actors, writers and editors recently gathered for a public reading of the book. The cast included Alice Walker, Kurt Vonnegut, Danny Glover and James Earl Jones.
