Voices of a People’s History of the United States, 10th Anniversary Edition

Blackstone Publishing.

Selected testimonies to living history used by historian Howard Zinn in his seminal non-fiction work The People’s History of the United States. This collection of speeches, letters, poems and songs were offered by the people who make history happen, but are often left out of history books: women, workers, nonwhites. Featuring introductions to the original texts by Howard Zinn, the collection is read by a full cast. This excerpt is from a statement by women’s health care provider, Michelle Farber.
