Howard Zinn rocks

I'll be reading The People's History of the United States over this holiday break.

He recently spoke in Madison, Wisconsin where he was receiving the Haven Center's Award for Lifetime Contribution to Critical Scholarship. His lecture, "The Uses of History and the War on Terrorism" can be listened to at this link.

It is an hour long and can be downloaded as an MP3. There is also a written transcript. I think it is well worth your time. Take a look, have a listen, and think about it.
