About this listen
Selected testimonies to living history-speeches, letters, poems, songs-offered by the people who make history happen, but are often left out of history books: women, workers, nonwhites. Featuring introductions to the original texts by Howard Zinn.
New voices featured in this 10th Anniversary Edition include Chelsea Manning, speaking after her 35-year prison sentence; Naomi Klein, speaking from the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Liberty Square; a member of Dream Defenders, a youth organization that confronts systemic racial inequality; members of the Undocumented Youth movement, who occupied, marched, and demonstrated in support of the DREAM Act; a member of the Day Laborers movement; Chicago Teachers Union strikers; and several critics of the Obama administration, including Glenn Greenwald, on governmental secrecy.

How words can empower and inspire
A powerful perspective on important events with speeches and letters of those who were there. A very important work for those who seek a deeper understanding of the United States and it’s people. Well read - I sped it to 1.25 because it is a long read - but the different voices gave clarity to what was being quoted. Excellent writing - as soon as one story lingered a bit too long, another would start. Kept my attention to the end.
