In Part One of our series on the life, work, and legacy of Howard Zinn, Justin Rogers-Cooper and I read Zinn’s 1994 memoir You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train and extract some of the juiciest bits of an extraordinary life: Zinn’s Dickensian childhood and seething class rage, his teenage experience with communists and police in 1930s New York City, his participation in World War II bombing raids that killed thousands of civilians, his life as a teacher and public intellectual during the civil rights and Vietnam War era, and his writing of a popular counter-narrative survey of American history that remains his most famous and controversial work, A People’s History of the United States. The series continues on our subscriber feed: patreon.com/nostalgiatrap.
