Thank you, Howard Zinn

Damnit. We lost another one. Howard Zinn died today in Santa Monica. My heart is extremely heavy right now. I feel like I've lost a family member. He was a great, great man whom I respected and highly revered. Thank you, Howard for everything you've done and for all of us whom you taught (both in person, through your books and lectures and through your actions). We've lost a great man.

“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

Kelly,
I'm with you. Howard Zinn has been my hero For all of my adult life. He had the courage of his convictions and was never afraid to stand up for what he knew was right. I am so sad. Howard, we will miss you.m

Howard was (and remains) hands down the best teacher I ever had. That applies to life and how we live it as well as anything I learned in his seminars. In addition to his extraordinary eloquence and social commitment he was exceptionally patient, gentle and optimistic. I can't process this yet. My heart and soul do not want to let it in...
