VOICES GIVEN TO Voices of a People's History of the United States

I've just started reading Howard Zinn's [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060528370/qid=1135737028/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-4305545-1979121?s=books&v=glance&n=283155|People's History of the United States] which covers American history from 1492 to the present from the losers' point of view. Often the sources for this book end up being the winner's own gloating about a massacre of Indians or a glorious battle over someone else who lost. It's a very telling book that kinda blew my mind from page 1. Here's a screencap of part of page 1:

The book originally came out 15 years ago and has been updated over the years to keep it up to date with all of the losers' stories of oppression and loss under the often oppressive heel of the US Government.

Last year, Zinn and Anthony Arnov put together a sequel of sorts to the book called [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583226281/qid=1135737028/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/104-4305545-1979121?s=books&v=glance&n=283155|Voices of A People's History of the United States]. It's filled with the actual words of people throughout American history, speaking from their own point of view--very few of them are people you've probably heard of, but all of them were on the receiving end of the USG's agenda. Back in October of this year, Zinn held a reading of the book but had various actors come in and read passages from the book. The actors include but are not limited to Danny Glover, Marisa Tomei, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Sandra Oh, and Viggo Mortensen. You can see/hear an edited down version of this reading in the December 26, 2005 broadcast of Democracy Now which is [http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/26/160202|downloadable] from DemocracyNow.org. They have both mp4 and mp3 formats--check them out. I'm pretty damn sure you'll be as moved as I was.
