The world lost a brilliant mind and powerful force yesterday with the passing of author, teacher and political activist, Howard Zinn. I have learned so much from this man, who instilled the importance of learning, awareness, activism, and dissent.
As Noam Chomsky said of his friend, "I can’t think of anyone who had such a powerful and benign influence...his historical work changed the way millions of people saw the past."
Mr. Zinn, you will be missed.
