"*The People’s Historian*: Dave Zirin’s New Book Explores 'Remarkable' Life of Howard Zinn

We speak to Dave Zirin, author and sports editor at *The Nation*, about his new book, *The People’s Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn*, chronicling the life and activism of the legendary historian Howard Zinn, author of *A People’s History of the United States*.

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.

AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org.

We turn now to the new book The People’s Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn, written by our next guest, Dave Zirin. The book explores the remarkable life of the late historian, teacher and activist Howard Zinn. He’s best known for writing A People’s History of the United States. First published in 1980, the book has sold more than 4 million copies.

Howard Zinn died in 2010 at the age of 87, but his work is still seen as threatening to many, and by others, by empowering so many. During his first term, President Trump directly attacked Zinn’s work."

"Mumia Abu-Jamal on Trump’s America: ‘All Is Not Well in Babylon’

The former Black Panther was sentenced to death in 1982 for the murder of a Philadelphia cop. His freedom is no longer a prominent cause for musicians — but he’s still paying attention

(. . .)

Now 71, the numbers marching for his freedom have dwindled without the urgency of imminent execution dates. But even if we’re not paying attention to him, you better believe he’s paying attention to us. 'There’s a feeling of mass disorder; that everything is off of its orbit,' he says. 'All is not well in Babylon.'

(. . .)

Speaking with a direct, calm urgency, Mumia Abu-Jamal has much to say about the demise of due process, the hypocrisies of the Constitution, and the long political road that has delivered us to the current crisis."

From #DaveZirin via Facebook:

A couple years back, I saw Rage in concert.

It was epic.

Zack performed the entire show in a wheel chair due to a shattered ankle he experienced on stage during their last tour stop and was incredible, hitting every note from the seated position.

Tom Morello was inventing the sounds coming from his guitar.

They gave Tim C a solo spotlight on bass that was mind boggling.

This is the most honest and thorough response to the final transformation of centrist news to propaganda at #MSNBC Dave Zirin may be a political reporter discussing the sports sector of our society, but his insights about journalism’s politics are keen.

While the article is pro-trans inclusion, I want to resoundingly criticize #DaveZirin, the #RealNewsNetwork, #GettyImages, The #LosAngelesTimes, and #Photographer #WallySkalij for #misgendering #LaurelHubbard by using the #male #pronoun "His" on the #Image #capation.

Funny, I thought #DaveZirin meant The Game must end (the #NFL), but he just meant that one contest. Sad. Football kills about 4 young men from brain and neck injuries per year nowadays (discounting 2020-21 cuz covid) - not counting longterm injuries of course https://nccsir.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/5614/2022/05/Annual-Football-2021-Fatalities-FINAL-public-1.pdf #DamarHamlin

I heard about #BuffaloBills player #DamarHamlin heart stopping from a hit in Monday's #NFL game. I didn't catch that the players and coaches essentially went on a #WildcatStrike refusing to keep playing, and the #NFLPA #Union called for the game to be postponed.

"the league only called the game after player reps from both teams contacted the union, the NFLPA, which informed the league that the game was done. This was a workplace action." #DaveZirin of #TheNationMagazine
