DESCRIPTION:Oct 28th 2026 Events @ Labyrinth Books Wed 10/28 @ 6:00PM Lab
 yrinth Books\, 122 Nassau Street Join us for a conversation with Dave Zi
 rin on his biography of iconic radical historian Howard Zinn\, examining
  his life and work as a progressive icon and thought leader through the 
 story of the times that shaped him as well as the United States of Ameri
 ca. From The Nation magazine columnist and New York Times bestselling au
 thor Dave Zirin\, The People’s Historian is a deeply researched biograph
 y of Howard Zinn\, the beloved author of the classic national bestseller
  with more than four million copies sold\, A People’s History of the Uni
 ted States. The People’s Historian shows Zinn’s presence on the great ca
 nvases of the 20th century: from the Depression to World War II to the C
 ivil Rights Movement to the war in Vietnam all the way until his death i
 n 2010. With intimately researched stories from Zinn’s life and career\,
  such as the way Atlanta’s small Spelman College\, where Zinn taught as 
 a young professor\, helped launch the Civil Rights Movement\, Zinn’s wor
 k traveling to Hanoi to engineer the release of POWs\, and his continuin
 g influence in the emerging Democratic Socialist movement\, The People’s
  Historian explores Zinn’s past while also demonstrating how his 75 year
 s of political engagement with the social struggles of his time informs 
 our perilous present. With input from family and access to Zinn’s person
 al papers\, The People’s Historian paints a picture of the man behind A 
 People’s History\, examining his work and legacy in the broader context 
 of the United States. “David Zirin – our premier sports historian and cu
 ltural critic – has written a brilliant and heartfelt book on the great 
 Howard Zinn – our premier peoples’ historian and social critic! In these
  grim and dim times\, we so badly need Zinn’s genuine witness of deep hu
 manity and prophetic voice of hope and compassion!” —Dr. Cornel West\, N
 ew York Times bestselling author of Democracy Matters “In this compellin
 g portrait of the indomitable Howard Zinn\, Dave Zirin offers a definiti
 ve account of the nation’s most influential radical historian… Arriving 
 at an urgent moment\, this book reminds us that Howard Zinn still has mu
 ch to teach about resisting the latest threats to American democracy.” —
 Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor\, author of #From Black Lives Matter to Black Li
 beration “Dave Zirin always comes on time because he never stops writing
  beautiful prose pointed at injustice. The People’s Historian shook free
  an understanding of Zinn I’d never felt\, and made me know that we are 
 so\, so prepared to live and fight in 2026.” —Kiese Laymon\, author of H
 eavy: An American Memoir “Howard Zinn spoke truth to power… In Dave Ziri
 n\, Zinn now has the right biographer: Zirin has given us a book that is
  clear-eyed and thoughtful and personal and full of levity. A clarion ca
 ll we have never needed more than in the present moment.” —Jonathan Cole
