Howard Zinn (1922-2010): In Lieu of Flowers, Organize
Giordano, Al
http://narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield/3759/howard-zinn-1922-2010-lieu-flowers-organizeDate Written: 2010-01-28 Publisher: Narconews Year Published: 2010 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX11712 Where other leftish icons have spent these decades gnashing their teeth, lecturing and bemoaning how awful everything that happens up above has been (as if most folks born down below didn't already know that by the time we were eight), Howard answered the call, again and again, to help us do something about it. He walked out to the picket lines every time he was called - by neighborhood organizers fighting against his university's real estate grabs, by striking workers that cleaned and fed the students and professors, by almost anyone who organized and fought that asked, and often before they asked, for his support.
