Howard Zinn (1922-2010)

It was with great sadness that SWOP heard of the death of Howard Zinn on January 27, 2010. He was 87 years old and was in Santa Monica, California to present a speech when he suffered a heart attack. He lived in Massachusetts. Zinn wrote the extremely popular book "A People's History of the United States" which sold over a million copies. If you haven't read it yet, get yourself a copy and learn the real history of our country. For more on Zinn visit http://www.howardzinn.org/

SWOP was very proud that Zinn's recommended reading list was published in Rolling Stone Magazine (10/17/96) and included our "500 Years of Chicano History in Pictures," which we published in 1991.

There have been tons of accolades on Zinn and his life on the web. My favorite post was: In lieu of flowers, organize.

Howard Zinn, ¡Presente!
