Howard Zinn Speaks against the War and for Social Jusctice

Howard Zinn spoke yesterday at the immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles in front of 1,400 people. Mr. Zinn is the author of “People’s History of the United States” the best-selling history book of all times. “If you don’t know history,” he says, “it’s like you were born yesterday.”

Being asked about the supermarket’s strike, Howard Zinn said that the struggle of the strikers to try to maintain their healthcare benefits should be everyone’s struggle. People should come together to support the strike and show solidarity with the supermarket workers.

Mr. Zinn said that he was not a big fan of the Democratic Party, but he urged people to vote for the democratic ticket anyway, at the next presidential election, to get rid of George Bush.

During the Q&A a woman congratulated Howard Zinn for being not only a lecturer of history, but also an activist who stands for peace and social justice.
