About Howard Zinn

A champion of the notion that historical change occurs through mass movements of ordinary people rather than through the actions of 'great men', Howard Zinn is the author of more than 50 books, including A People's History of the United States, which has sold more than a million copies.

"We need to engage in whatever non-violent actions appeal to us. There is no act too small, no act too bold. The history of social change is the history of millions of actions, small and large, coming together at critical points to create a power that governments cannot suppress. We find ourselves today at one of those critical points."
