Howard Zinn: You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train

This acclaimed film looks at the amazing life of the renowned historian, activist and author. Following his early days as a shipyard labor organizer and bombardier in World War II, Zinn became an academic rebel and leader of civil disobedience in a time of institutionalized racism and war. His influential writings shine light on and bring voice to factory workers, immigrant laborers, African Americans, Native Americans and the working poor.

In this video, Zinn discusses the importance of knowing history, especially in relation to understanding why wars occur. The video is narrated by Matt Damon.
