Interview with Howard Zinn

In the Spring of 1988 I had the pleasure of interviewing historian Howard Zinn at his offices at BU. Little did I know that day he had given his resignation notice to John Silber, then controversial President of the University. Howard Zinn wrote several books, the most famous of which was "The People's History of the United States." When I listen now to the interview I'm somewhat mortified by my innocent approach to interviewing one of my favorite authors. Howard passed away this year and I hope you all enjoy this interview.
