Submitted by rick on Wed, 02/03/2010 - 00:37.

Dear Friends --


Many of you have been influenced by Howard Zinn and read or even worked with his People's History of the United
States.  He had planned to speak here in Olympia,
Saturday, Feb. 6, at 3 P.M. but passed away last week.  He'd be delighted to know
people will gather to consider the people's history and tell the
people's stories that day anyway.

Come honor and celebrate
Howard Zinn's life and work at The Evergreen State College this
Saturday Feb. 6 from 3 - 5:15 in Lecture Hall 1.  The program will feature
a recent interview of Zinn with David Barsamian and a recording of the
address "Three Holy Wars" that Zinn had promised to bring to Olympia.   read more »
