Chenjerai Kumanyika and Donna Murch in conversation on W. E. B. Du Bois with Zakiya Collier. With readings by Brian Jones and projections by Geoff Bailey.

Voices of a People's History honors historian Howard Zinn (1922-2010), author of the classic bestseller A People's History of the United States, with a new conversation series hosted by the archivist and memory worker Zakiya Collier. Together, Collier and her guests will draw from Zinn's example of interrogating key moments of the historical record via documents, images and recordings to create an illuminating dialogue on what the past can teach contemporary audiences. Author and historian Donna Murch (Assata Taught Me) and journalist Chenjerai Kumanyika (cohost of Uncivil podcast) will join Collier to discuss author W.E.B. Du Bois' 1935 text Black Reconstruction, which foregrounded the role of Blacks forging our democracy. Actor Brian Jones will read vital passages from the book.
