This latest iteration of the now seven-year-long Lincoln Center commission series Voices of a People’s History continues our revitalization of the work of Brooklyn-born author, activist, and academic Howard Zinn as we celebrate the year of his centenary. This live event focuses on Zinn's timeless and insightful book, A People’s History of the United States, a document of the vital everyday epics of common people engaged in the life and death struggle for justice: abolitionists, activists, protesters, founders of the first American unions, suffragettes who advanced women's rights, and pioneers of gay liberation. All these heroic voices will be brought to life in performance by a chorus of young student activists who have been mentored by Voices teaching artists to find personal meaning in these timeless texts.

This program is funded in part by Humanities New York with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. www.humanitiesny.org
