January 29, 2011Rebel historian Howard Zinn died a year ago, and we miss him more than ever. As Cairo erupts in protest, as Tunisia drives out its dictator, poet and GRITtv guest Staceyann Chin tweeted "The People Speak." Staceyann was one of many actors, artists, and activist performers who joined Howard for a performance of the pieces collected in his work by that name, inspired by his classic People's History of the United States.Edwidge Danticat, Howard Zinn, and John Nichols
